WASHINGTON — The US government closed down for a second day on Tuesday, as the northeast braced for another massive snow blitz just days after a historic blizzard paralyzed the region.
Schools in the Washington area were shut and thousands of homes were without power after a massive snowfall barreled across the area Friday and Saturday, leaving some areas entombed in as much as three feet (one meter) of snow.
Forecasters said residents now face another wintry onslaught, with nearly another 10 to 20 inches (25 to 50 centimeters) of snow forecast to fall on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Unlike the last blizzard, Tuesday's storm is expected to travel clear up the east coast, reaching as far north as New England.
Nachdem NYC am Wochenende haarscharf dem Schnee entkam, sieht es morgen nicht so gut aus. Die Amis machen mal wieder ein riesen Drama draus. "Blizzard!". Das Wort klingt schon so martialisch, heisst aber uebersetzt nur "Schneefall".
Ich hoffe, dass es so richtig fies wird. Dann geh' ich auf Tour statt auf Maloche.
Und ab Samstag heisst es dann 22 Grad und Sonne in Tucson! Die Russin geht mit.
