Fly out in advance snowfall announced in U.S.
Budrigannews.com – During one of the busiest travel times of the year, a significant portion of the United States will experience heavy snowfall, temperatures below freezing, and dangerous wind chills this week. This is likely to cause flight delays and render roads impassable.
From the Northwest and Great Plains to the central and southern Appalachian regions, the National Weather Service predicts potentially hazardous weather conditions into the middle of the week.
In a short-range forecast that was posted on its website on Tuesday, the Service stated, “With such a large and powerful storm system… it is imperative that travelers check the most recent forecast before venturing out.”
According to the Service, a flash freeze could occur from the mid-South to the East Coast as a surge of Arctic air crosses the nation behind a cold front. Blizzard conditions are anticipated in parts of the Plains and Great Lakes region.
On social media, residents of the affected areas expressed concern regarding travel disruptions, the possibility of becoming trapped in their homes, and the plight of neighbors without homes.
“It is unreasonable that we have individuals living without cover in Chicago winters by any stretch of the imagination, significantly less during a snowstorm at Christmas,” posted Twitter client @laurie_merrell on Tuesday morning.
According to the National Weather Service, the Cascade Mountains, northern Idaho, northwest Montana, and western Wyoming will see the most snowfall, followed by the northern Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Northwest.
According to the U.S. Global Change Research Program, winter storms in the United States have moved northward and increased in frequency and intensity over the past 70 years.

The Environmental Defense Fund asserts that as a result of climate change, snowfall volumes are anticipated to rise as a result of the planet’s increased evaporation of water into the atmosphere as it warms.
