The state of New York, in the United States, has been deluged since Thursday evening by an impressive snowstorm that is expected to continue throughout the weekend.
The images of snowfall hitting New York State are impressive. In just one night, the city of Buffalo in the west of the state, where the storm began, was covered by six feet of snow. The state of emergency was also decreed on the morning of Friday 18 November.
Heavy snow covered the Buffalo region of the United States.
The roads are impassable, visibility is almost zero, a situation that prompts the authorities to ask people to stay at home as much as possible.
This storm is due to a cold wave, amplified by the so-called “lake effect”. The air is particularly cold in this region, accustomed to harsh winters. Temperatures dropped 20C below normal for the seasons. Furthermore, the proximity to the great lakes aggravates the phenomenon. Passing over the lakes, the air becomes charged with humidity and in fact even more consistent snowfalls fall. This meteorological phenomenon is known as the lake effect. He hadn’t performed in November since 2014.
This episode would be even unprecedented for more than twenty years, according to the channel’s meteorologist Cnn. “It’s been snowing nonstop for 48 hours. We’ve rarely seen it here. It’s unique to the city,” he testifies on TF1 a snow plow driver.
