In aceasta saptamana, locuitorii din Colorado au experimentat in 24 de ore caldura demna de vara, dar si temperaturi de iarna si chiar ninsoare. De la 26 de grade, temperatura inregistrata marti in Fort Collins, in mai putin de 24 de ore in aceeasi zona s-a asternut zapada.
Cu temperaturile de marti, oamenii se gandeau ca primavara s-a instalat in toata regula. Dar cu toate acestea in cateva ore a inceput sa ninga, iar vremea s-a schimbat deodata, arata CNN.
Peste 1.000 de zboruri au fost anulate, din cauza vantului puternic.
Statul Colorado nu a fost singura zona afectata de aceasta furtuna. Vant puternic a fost si in Dakota si in Minnesota, ceea ce a dus la inchiderea multor drumuri.
Joi, cea mai mare zapada a fost inregistrata in Nebraska, Dakota de Sud si Minnesota.
Furtuna se va indrepta catre Canada vineri, conform Serviciului National de Meteorologie. Meteorologii lanseaza avertizari legate de perioada de dupa topirea zapezii, cand s-ar putea produce inundatii.
