According to forecasts, heavy snowfall, record low temperatures and strong winds are expected. The natural disaster may affect more than 60 million people.
The snow front has already covered several central states, such as Kentucky, Kansas and Missouri, where the weather conditions have deteriorated significantly. In many areas, a state of emergency has been introduced to coordinate the actions of local authorities and services.
The storm had a significant impact on the transportation system, with thousands of flights canceled and major disruptions in traffic. Road services are working in enhanced mode, warning of the danger on the roads due to ice and poor visibility.
Despite the difficult conditions, official events are planned in Washington, including approval of the results of the presidential elections. Authorities say the event will go ahead as scheduled, although additional security measures are being taken to ensure it goes ahead.
