Midwest Weather Conditions Freeze


              A powerful storm hit Chicago and  left behind dangerously cold temperatures and started new challenges for workers. The storm this weekend closed many highways in many states. The storm canceled more than 1,600 flights and collapsed the Minnesota Vikings' Stadium. At least six weather-related deaths were recorded and nearly two feet of snow fell in five different states. Those states included Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan that had nearly two feet pf snow.


             The storm is heading east towards Canada according to the National Weather Service. The plunging winds and dangerous temperatures are making the clearing of roads very difficult. The meteorologists say that worst part of the storm is pretty much over in most places. In Minneapolis, the inflatable roof of the Metrodome collapsed Sunday due to the storm. When the roof collapsed, half of the playing field was piled with snow of massive amounts.


              A lot of road and air wrecks were reported during the storm due to the weather. At O'Hare International Airport nearly 1,375 flights were canceled because of the weather and flight conditions. A lot of major travel highways were closed because of the snow. A lot of people have died due to road wrecks and out-of-control cars. A lot of vehicles have crashed into trees or into poles on the slippery roads. In conclusion, these severe weather conditions can kill people and destroy places.
