It has been a tough year for New England. First, they were hit by a powerful hurricane
that left a lot of damage. Now, just a
couple months later, the Northeast has been hit by a record breaking snow
storm. Certain places received as much
as 40 inches of snow. This has made it
very difficult to travel. Apparently,
even the snow plows are having a tough time clearing the streets. The large amounts of snow have caused many
other issues as well. As many as 90% of
people are still without power and are staying in one of many shelters set
up. It is estimated that most people
will be without power until this Thursday.
All this bad weather has closed down many schools. Some schools will start classes again tomorrow,
but many remain closed.
This week
the weather is supposed to start improving, with temperatures as high as the 40s
with rain. Also good news, many airports began functioning again as well
as many Amtrak train stations. While the
Northeast is getting better every day, a new storm is expected in the Midwest. As much as a foot of snow and winds as high
as 50 mph are expected Sunday night. Luckily, Omaha isn't in the path of this new storm.
