US President Joe Biden has warned Americans of “dangerous and menacing” storms in the days leading up to Christmas. Biden stated that those who plan to travel to visit family and friends should leave as soon as possible.
“If you have plans to travel, go now, it’s no joke. I’m texting my team, telling them to go now if they have plans to leave tomorrow,” Biden said.
Dangerous and menacing, the warning is indeed very serious. It stretches from Oklahoma to Wyoming and Maine. Therefore, I urge everyone to heed local notifications. Take this storm seriously

The expectation is that the country will experience its coldest year-end in 40 years. The winter storm canceled flights that were expected to cause travel chaos over the weekend.
In addition to the snowstorm, rain and sudden frost on the east coast, strong winds of 100 km / h are expected up to the Mexican border.
“It’s not like a snowy day as a kid. This is serious stuff,” Biden added.
The US president also reported that he is in contact with the governors of the most affected areas. Biden assured that he was “ready to help the communities with whatever they need”.
