blizzard in USA..see once every 50 years

Near Lake Michigan

I was once studied at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater 60 miles from Chicago, the windy city. When comes a blizzard, it is going to be very very cold, cold to the bones. You know what comes to mind? Oh Malaysia, tanah air ku. Sentiasa panas. Bersyukur kita.


Tens of millions of people stayed home. The hardy few who ventured out faced howling winds that turned snowflakes into face-stinging needles. Chicago's 20.2 inches of snow was the city's third-largest amount on record. In New York's Central Park, the pathways resembled skating rinks.

The storm that resulted from two clashing air masses was, if not unprecedented, extraordinarily rare for its size and ferocious strength.

"A storm that produces a swath of 20-inch snow is really something we'd see once every 50 years — maybe," meteorologist Thomas Spriggs.
