Neverending Circle of Snow Calamities on the Eastern Coast? by Milota Sidorova

A shot of chilly air along with continuously falling snow showers will visit the Southeast and the Northeastern coast of U.S. Travelling through the mountains of Tennesse and North Carolina may be very hazardous, whilst risking slipping accidents on the frozen surface of the roads. That is what the American weather forecast says these days. While Europe gets a glimpse of following spring, America suffers by heavy snow storms, that, like it seems, don' t have enough. Tireless snow showers in the states of Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, New Engeland and New York caused massive crash accidents, traffic jams, electricity cut offs. The situation seems to be unbearable. Due the scabby weather, schools in South Michigan, Nothern Indiana, Ohio and New York reported that they had to be closed three times this month already. The roads and the sidewalks are pure ice, and that' s what rescue services can hardly cope with. "Snow, you can plow that right off," said spokesman of Southern Illinois University, Rod Sievers. "But the ice was just brutal, brutal." This winter seems to score with neverending circle of people slipping and falling on the streets, car crashes, traffic jams that last several hours and already two dead cases. First victim, a 71 old woman, that died in her mobile house after crashing down with a tree, broken in the storm. Police of Northern Ohio also reported the death of a man, who obiit in the snow covered wreck on the highway. Ubiquitous snow has broken the historical records even on the places, where the winter had always very mild climate. For instance, Madison, Wis. reported more than 77 inches by Feb. 12, and Boston overcame its record about 19.3 inches, spanning more than 49.6 inches of snow. "Enough already!", people say, declaring that the situation is getting worse because of no breaks among the snow storms. Finishing this blog, one must mention well-turned expression of Roland Swanson, a simple American citizen, who spoke out for the reportes whilst waiting to cross the street. "It's been endless, it just keeps coming. It's killing us by the inch."commented sored Swanson.
