Winter Storm Maximus has passed through the United States dumping snow, ice and southern terror. But it’s not over, Winter Storm Nika also came through the U.S. and the storm brought weather warnings for the Midwest, East Coast and the South.
Maximus was named the 13th storm to hit the United States this winter season. It passed through the Midwest Saturday and hovered over the South until Monday evening.
“I think the storms themselves have been crazy. We haven’t had a winter this bad in so long,” freshman Ashley said. “It has disrupted our lives a little because if it’s too bad we obviously can’t drive to the places we typically go to day-to-day.
Unlike the north, which is prepared to handle winter weather, the snow storms took a toll on the southern states.
“It’s terrible that they had to go through something like that it’s kind of funny how they reacted to such a little amount of snow because it’s so rare for them,” freshman Ashley’s last name here said.
Southerners in places like Atlanta, Ga had to drive over bridges to make it home and some did not making it home at all.
Senior Doug Morris said he was unaware about the effects of the storm in the south but he said he knew they received two inches of snow. “If that’s true they probably need to man up.”
Nika hit the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic region Tuesday evening and into Wednesday. The winter storm brought snow and wind chill of negative 18 in some places.
According to the Weather Channel, Storm Nika dropped the most significant swath of snow on Tuesday and it spread from the front range of Colorado and Wyoming to the northern Texas Panhandle, northwest Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and northern Missouri and into portions of the Great Lakes region.
“I think that the recent snow storms are nature and there isn’t a way to avoid them and I don’t hate snow buy I prefer the sun,” junior Cassie Swanson said.
As for the St. Louis area, snow fall occurred Tuesday and another storm is hovering toward the Midwest this weekend.
