Winter storm and snowstorm warnings have been issued in many parts of the United States. What traffic will this affect?

The early warning of winter storms and snowstorms issued in many places in the United States will have an impact on road traffic, railway traffic and air traffic.

Storms refer to strong disturbances and severe weather changes in the atmosphere. Such as strong thunderstorm, squall line, tornado, typhoon, low pressure, cold wave, etc., have great destructive power. The appearance of blizzard is often accompanied by strong winds, cooling and other weather, which has an impact on winter traffic and agricultural production. Winter storm and snowstorm warnings have been issued all over the United States. The snowstorm in Chicago is expected to have 1 1 inch of snow, and nine counties in Indiana have also been hit by winter storms. Eight states, from Oklahoma to Lower Michigan, also issued snowstorm warnings.

Blizzard will make roads slippery, affect traffic, and may cause traffic paralysis. First of all, this will have a great impact on road chat. Driving on the road is very easy to slip and the line of sight is extremely poor. If you don't drive carefully, it is easy to cause a car accident. Blizzard weather can easily lead to traffic jams and affect the normal passage of roads. Cycling and electric cars are also dangerous in snowstorm weather, and it is easy to slip. Drive at a low speed after you hit the road. Don't ride on the floor tiles that are easy to freeze and slide, and don't grab the road with motor vehicles to prevent being hit by motor vehicles that slip sideways; On the road with thick snow or thin ice, it is very easy to slip, which is harmful to the safety of yourself and others.

Blizzard will also affect railway traffic. Heavy snow may accumulate at the switch point and frog, which may affect train operation and even cause accidents. There may also be machines freezing railway turnouts, which will make the railway unable to arrange and lead to the interruption of railway transportation. Heavy snow may also cover the line, making the track circuit bad, thus making the signal display wrong or not, causing the train signal to be unstable, stopping the train, and even causing train conflicts. Snowstorm will also lead to the break and collapse of the power catenary, which will make the electric locomotive unable to run. Generally, in snowstorm weather, railway workers will clear the snow. The storm is too strong, and the railway will stop. Blizzard also has a great impact on air traffic and the take-off and landing of aircraft, which may be delayed. If there is a storm, it will be dangerous to fly. When an airplane flies in a cloud containing supercooled water droplets, if the surface temperature of the airplane is low, the water droplets will freeze in some places on the airplane surface. When the ice and snow condense on the wing of an aircraft, the surface will become rough, which will increase the resistance, reduce the original lift when the aircraft takes off, and increase the difficulty of controlling the aircraft.
