In what is thought to be the one of the worst snowstorm in the history of US, 11 states of the nation have declared a weather emergency. Many states such as New York, New Jersey and Georgia were blanketed with snow up to three feet. Thousands of flights were cancelled and more than 20 people were feared to be dead nationwide. The storm was weakened now and has moved on to Atlantic Ocean, but not after leaving the public life devastated. Every inch of Eastern US was covered with snow and lakhs of houses are still in darkness. People who ventured to come out have found themselves struck on the highways without any entrance or exit to move further. Schools and Government buildings were declared to stay closed on Monday. People were advised not to venture to come out "We will see continued slick and dangerous roadways, so continue to stay off the road," advised the Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser. The snow storm was nicknamed after Godzilla as `Snowzilla’. The name itself reveals the impact of the blizzard on the nation!
