American and European 'panic' in a white world...It's up to 35cm. [This is the news]

Since the beginning of the new year, snowstorms and cold waves have hit the United States and Europe simultaneously, causing a series of accidents and paralyzing major transportation networks such as highways and flights.

According to the Associated Press, Reuters, AFP, and BBC broadcasts on the 5th (local time), the snow fell the most in the past decade, mainly in the central United States and the east.

Snowfall is expected to reach up to 35 cm, especially in parts of Kansas and northern Missouri.

The blizzard extended to the east, with 15 to 30 centimeters of snow in areas from Ohio to Washington DC.

Various damages such as traffic accidents caused by heavy snow continued, and the transportation network was paralyzed.

More than 20 railways were canceled nationwide, and nearly 2,200 flights were canceled and more than 25,000 were delayed.

Following heavy snow, cold waves are expected to overlap due to the southward flow of Arctic jets, which could cause significant damage in the future.

Cold weather and snowstorms in the Arctic also hit Europe across the Atlantic Ocean.

16cm of snow accumulated in West Yorkshire in central England, and 10cm of snow was also recorded in Scotland and northern England.

Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, and Birmingham airports temporarily closed their runways.

In Germany, more than 120 flights were canceled at Frankfurt Airport due to heavy snow and ice on the runway, while 68 flights were canceled at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Vaclav Havel International Airport in Prague, Czech Republic, was temporarily closed due to bad weather.
