Snowmaggedon hits U.S.

A major storm blowing in heavy snow and ice gripped large swaths of the winter-weary United States early Thursday, leaving a dozen people dead and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of homes.

Many flights were cancelled due to Snowmaggedon (name of the storm). This snowmaggedon has sent the temperatures across US to -34C low. It is expected that the sleet and freezing rain will set-up along I-95, the major interstate highway that runs the length of eastern seaboard.

Following the impacts of the snowy wave, Barack Obama, the US President has declared a state of emergency in Georgia and South Carolina and he has also ordered to deploy federal resources to deal with the frigid storm which is named as Snowmaggedon.
