Divided
A blizzard in the northern United States has caused snowy roads and cars. Cows have also fallen victim to the snow, as one farm showed in a video.
Munich – It wasn’t just extremely cold in Germany in the week leading up to the Fourth Advent. Last week, a heavy snowstorm raged across the northern states of the United States. A blizzard swept across the country with wind speeds of nearly 100 km/h, like in South Dakota. Pictures and videos on social networks show snowy roads and snowdrifts. One video in particular stands out. A farmer films his animals covered in snow from a tractor. The images recall apocalyptic scenes.
Blizzard snow in animals: inches of snow on cows
A South Dakota farm shared the extent of the blizzard in a Facebook video. The animals taken in the pasture seem almost covered in snow. A cow walks directly in front of the lens. You can see there are inches of snow on their horns. Even the snow seems to stick to his body. Thick clumps of snow stick to the face and the rest of the body as well. In the background you can clearly see how the wind whips the snow.
The farm wrote on video that there was about 20 centimeters of snow at the time. Despite the weather, the cows should be fine. The skin and fur of the animals provide good insulation and protect the cows, according to the farm’s Facebook page.
Blizzard hits US: Snowdrifts cause roadblocks
South and North Dakota, Montana and Nebraska were particularly hard hit, such as Weather fox reported. Blizzards are snowstorms that cause heavy snow and even heavier squalls and cold temperatures. Hundreds of miles of highways in South Dakota have been closed due to snowdrifts. Nearly all of the highways in North Dakota have also been closed. About 140,000 customers remained, according to the Washington Post no power last Thursday morning (December 15). This was due to strong winds.
The Blizzard wasn’t the first winter show in the United States. Large amounts of snow triggered a state of emergency in New York as early as November. (vk)
