Snowstorm leads to closures
A powerful snowstorm brought heavy snowfall and strong winds to the area, causing widespread closures and disruptions.
The National Weather Service issued a Blizzard Warning for the region, with sustained winds of up to 35 mph and visibility of less than 1/4 mile at times.
As a result, several roads were closed due to snow and ice, including the highway connecting the two cities.
Additionally, many businesses and schools were closed for the day due to the hazardous weather conditions.
One resident described the storm as "one of the worst" they had ever experienced, with snowdrifts reaching up to 5 feet deep in some areas.
"It's a real challenge to get around today," said Jane Smith, a local resident. "The snow is falling so heavily that it's hard to see more than a few feet in front of you."
Authorities urged residents to stay indoors and avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary.
As the storm continues to rage on, residents are advised to stay safe and monitor local news for updates.
