winter storms

A severe winter storm, fuelled by a polar vortex, has impacted several U.S. states, resulting in fatalities, widespread power outages, dangerous road conditions, and thousands of flight cancellations. Schools are closed, & emergency responses are ongoing.

The wave of extreme cold affects millions of Americans and Canada has made it necessary to activate protocols to deal with it, on Friday in some parts of the country the temperature was recorded at -40.

You have probably noticed when you go for a walk in the winter that everything is much calmer or quieter and this is largely due to the fact that many birds hide underground, migrate or simply change colour to survive the cold temperatures.
