In Oregon, New York and elsewhere in the United States, the cold has caused significant damage and made travel difficult. Even bad weather offers some unusual and spectacular images.
In the United States, the landscape is paralyzed by frost and trees are bending under the weight of snow. Oregon is used to freezing winters, but the second snowstorm in a week caused significant damage. A tree even split the roof of a house in two. “I thought the house was going to collapse on us and I screamed,” says a little girl. More than 50 people have died since this wave of storms began. There are numerous traffic accidents and continuing to travel on foot is not always easier.
New York under the snow
In upstate New York, entire neighborhoods are frozen under a thick layer of snow hardened by blizzard squalls. Thousands of flights have been delayed or canceled since the beginning of the week. One plane even ended up going off the runway and was unable to control its landing. Many schools are also closed. In Milwaukee, the frost creates fascinating images.
