The Big Chill(寒流)
Some areas in upstate New York have received more than five feet of snow over a twoday period.Weather forecasters said the region could get more than eight feet of snow before the weekend.
On Tuesday, West Virginia experienced the coldest temperatures recorded in the state in February since 1996, the weather service said.
Sunny Outlook
There is some sign of relief to come.On Wednesday, temperatures in Chicago rose slightly to 0 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind chill of minus 14 degrees Fahrenheit.That’s an improvement from Monday when the wind chill made it feel as if it were minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit.National Weather Service meteorologist(气象学家)Tim Seeley said that the area should expect temperatures in the low 20s by the week’s end.
For some the heavy snowfall was cause for celebration.Ski resorts that had been suffering from the mild winter welcomed more white on the slopes.“It was the perfect storm,” said Joe Stevens, spokesman for the West Virginia Ski Areas Association.“Over four feet of snow has fallen since the middle of January, which has really turned the situation around for the resorts that were experiencing... above normal temperatures earlier in the season.”
