| Description: | Half of America is blanketed by snow, gripped in the year's iciest cold wave, following record storms that swept north from Louisiana. As far north as Maine, as far west as the Great Lakes, snowfalls of up to forty-two inches and gale force winds have paralyzed cities, and marooned thousands. MS - streets piled high in a deep blanket of snow. MS - Snow plow going down and freeing up a side street in the city. MS - street where two men are making their way through a snowy side walk. MS - Man shoveling his side walk. The more he shovels the harder the snow falls. MS - Cars in a parking lot getting covered with snow. CUS - Poor guy has his car stuck in the snow. MS - Deserted snowy street. | |
