Snowmaggedon hits U.S.

• A major storm blowing in heavy snow and ice gripped large swaths of the winter-weary United States early Thursday, leaving a dozen people dead and knocking out power to hundreds of thousands of homes.
• Many flights were cancelled due to Snowmaggedon (name of the storm). This snowmaggedon has sent the temperatures across US to -34C low. 
• It is expected that the sleet and freezing rain will set-up along I-95, the major interstate highway that runs the length of eastern seaboard.
• Following the impacts of the snowy wave, Barack Obama, the US President has declared a state of emergency in Georgia and South Carolina and he has also ordered to deploy federal resources to deal with the frigid storm which is named as Snowmaggedon.
