      new Heavy Ice Storm all over US


      • 'Get off the roads and stay home!' Words of warning as treacherous ice pummels winter-weary South, killing 13 and knocking out power to a half million... and the same storm is bringing 18 inches of snow to the Northeast
        • Worsening storm stretched from eastern Texas to the Carolinas, and is likely to reach up into the Middle Atlantic states by late on Wednesday
        • More than half a million people without power on Wednesday in the Southeast
        • Traffic snarled in North Carolina on Wednesday due to snowfall and ice
        • City schools have been closed until Thursday and emergency preparations began in earnest on Monday morning
        • Storm to dump more snow on the North East through Wednesday night into Friday
        • Atlanta could lose a quarter of its trees due to brutal storm
        • President Obama declares state of emergency for South Carolina

        Officials in North Carolina are warning people across the South to get off the roads and stay home as Mother Nature added a new misery to the deadly storm that has paralyzed the region - sheets of treacherous ice.
        Two and a half inches of snow followed by sleet and freezing rain brought chaos once again to the winter-weary South - killing 13 people and knocking out power to more than a half a million homes Wednesday.

        On major roads and highways Wednesday evening, it seemed like a bad bout of déjà vu as hundreds of stranded drivers were forced to abandon their cars and walk to shelter after they were caught in the brunt of the storm.

        This time the disaster scenes played out in North Carolina. Residents of Atlanta, which was battered just two weeks ago, took no chances and stayed off the roads - even as officials redoubled their efforts to swiftly respond to Mother Nature's newest torrent.
        The frigid horror of Winter Storm Pax isn't done, either. It is headed north with a vengeance. Meteorologists predict it could drop up to 18 inches of snow on the Northeast starting early Thursday - with up to 14 inches predicted in New York City and ten in Washington, DC.

        And, with wind gusts up to 40mph, drifting could become a major problem.

        The morning commute across the Eastern Seaboard is likely to be as bad as it has been all winter, experts warn.

        The Northeast is already bracing for impact. In Washington, the federal government will be closed on Thursday - along with all schools and many businesses.

        Winter Storm Pax will then move Northeast through Wednesday night into Friday, impacting the heavily populated I-95 corridor.
        The snow will start on Wednesday night in the Middle Atlantic, affecting Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia.

      Great sharing






      اعتماد " ایک چھوٹا سا لفظ ھے ، جسے
      پڑھنے میں سیکنڈ
      سوچنے میں منٹ
      سمجھنے میں دِن
      مگر

      ثابت کرنے میں زندگی لگتی ھے
