Snow storms over Washington DC caused federal offices to close. Previously, in many areas, snow had reached a thickness of 25cm in many places.

Strong winds blowing through the Central region reduced the temperature on December 10 to a negative peak of 28 degrees Celsius in the Northern Delta region and minus 23 degrees Celsius in the Midwest.

Due to prolonged worsening weather conditions, schools and offices in most major cities have closed their doors on December 10.

Heavy snowfall along with ice also makes the roads slippery and dangerous for vehicles.

Meanwhile, Connecticut police announced that by noon on December 10, there were 83 accidents that injured 8 people in the state.

Earlier, reports said there were about 6,100 international and domestic flights canceled or delayed, leading to stagnation at many airports.

Tens of thousands of people continue to live in a state of power cuts, and traffic is everywhere.

It is predicted that snow will continue to fall on December 11, bringing up to 7cm of snow in most areas along the East Coast.
