United States Paralysed by Severe Snowstorm

Winter storms have left large parts of the US Midwest in disarray. More than a foot of snow has blanketed roads across the region. Strong winds and thunderstorms have made the situation even more critical.

From South Dakota to New York, nearly 53 million people were under winter weather alerts. At Des Moines Airport, 10.9 inches (28 cm) of snow was recorded by midnight on Sunday, marking the highest two-day snowfall since January 2024.

Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport saw 8.4 inches of snowfall on Saturday, setting a new record for the highest snowfall in November in the city’s history. According to Illinois State Police, around 500 road accidents were reported in the Chicago area on the same day.
