At least fifty people have died in the United States due to harsh winter weather. Freezing temperatures, snowfall and ice make traffic difficult, if not impossible.
American television channels broadcast many animal rescues. On Lake Michigan, the freezing wind and humidity naturally formed incredible ice sculptures. The blizzard continues to blow across the plains of New York State. At the same time, a thick layer of snow has been accumulating for more than a week. The cold wave that hit the Midwest continues to rage, causing the deaths of fifty people across the country. In the Midwest, and in almost the entire eastern part of the country, temperatures will remain negative on Saturday, up to Texas.
Income affected
“If you work in a field that requires you to be outside, like construction, mining or agriculture, it’s much more difficult. So this has an impact on household income and productivity.”, explains Tammy Carleton, environmental economist. Everywhere the cold and snow make travel difficult and schools are forced to close. Meteorological services predict a mild period for next week.
