Here are some great videos from the weather event.
TIME LAPSE STORM
The storm’s time-lapse video was filmed in Watertown, New York.
In the pictures we can see how the storm suddenly takes hold of the city and the conditions worsen.
JOURNALIST “SCAN”
Winds were particularly strong in Palmer Hayflats, Alaska. Road traffic was very dangerous due to snowstorms.
Live, a journalist was literally pushed by the strong winds.
HARD LANDING IN MONTREAL
The storm caused numerous flight cancellations and delays. In Montreal-Trudeau, a flight enthusiast caught an Air Algérie plane “missing” its landing due to strong winds.
The pilot had to overshoot and try a new approach.
Dozens of other flights would have tried to land during the day.
EXPLOSION OF A TRANSFORMER
In the town of Wilson, New York, a transformer exploded when strong winds and heavy snow blew.
CAR SLIDE
In Seattle, also hit by difficult conditions, cars slid on the road, which was converted into an ice rink.
ICE CUBES IN ALABAMA
Ice cubes were filmed by local residents on Dauphin Island, Alabama.
An unusual picture, because the average temperature at this time of year is 7 degrees.
