A historic winter storm has hit the southern United States, leaving cities in the region covered in snow. With over 10 centimeters of snow in some areas and more than 130 years since the last climatic event of this type, accumulation records have been broken. The streets have transformed into a white scene, affecting traffic and the daily activities of residents.
Local authorities have had to intervene to assist in emergency situations, from traffic accidents to snow removal from main roads. In this context, internet users have shared images and videos of the unusual snowfall in southern cities on social media, with numerous testimonials from citizens surprised by the situation.
The National Weather Service of the United States has pointed out that this winter storm has broken records in the region and is expected to continue until Wednesday. Snow, freezing rain, and sleet have been forecasted in areas ranging from northern Florida to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. This situation has led to highway closures and flight cancellations due to adverse weather conditions.
Amid this situation, cities like Houston and New Orleans have experienced historic snowfalls, with accumulations of up to 8 inches in some areas. The storm has transformed the urban landscape into a true winter spectacle, with unprecedented images of snow near the beach and extremely low temperatures in the region. Residents are preparing to face the challenges posed by a snowfall of these proportions, while snowfall is expected to continue throughout the day.
