The strongest winter storm in years paralyzed the US: thousands of flights canceled.

According to ТСН: The US is suffering from a powerful winter storm, which has become the strongest in this region in recent years.

Due to the complicated weather conditions, the governments of New York and New Jersey have declared a state of emergency.

In New York, the largest snowfall since 2022 has already been recorded. About 11 cm of snow fell in Central Park, while in some areas of the state and Connecticut, it reached 15-25 cm.

According to data from FlightAware, over 9000 flights across the country have been canceled or delayed. The greatest difficulties are observed at major airports — John F. Kennedy, LaGuardia, and Newark.

Authorities are urging residents to avoid travel. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, restrictions have been imposed on the movement of commercial transport on major highways.

It is worth noting that in Southern California, heavy rains have caused massive flooding and mudslides, leading authorities to announce evacuations.

This winter storm has become a serious test for the region, as heavy snowfalls and unstable weather conditions have already led to significant difficulties in the lives of residents. Authorities are doing everything possible to ensure the safety of citizens while avoiding travel in dangerous conditions. Numerous canceled flights indicate the extent of the storm's impact on transportation infrastructure.
