By: Tupaki Desk | 3 March 2018 6:09 AM GMT
Snowstorm Emma is wreaking havoc in the European countries, the UK in particular. The continuous snowfall coupled with the fast-declining winter temperatures have forced the governments to shut the roadways cancel the trains and flights. Schools also remain to be closed until the climatic conditions improve.
Emma storm has become more dreadful with the Siberian winds. These Siberian winds are called Beast From The East, Siberian Bear for their sub-zero temperatures. There were reports in the media that nearly 55 people lost their lives due to the storm around Europe. Armed forces were called in By UK government for the rescue operations and to clear the snow from the highways.
Electric supply was disrupted in many areas. More than 200 people were trapped in a train on Thursday night without heating with the disruptions in electricity supply. Hundreds of vehicles were stranded on the A303 highway from Somerset to Wiltshire. The drivers and passengers were struck for nearly seventeen hours as they were unable to move ahead with the continuous snowfall.
A met department official said that the heavy snow showers from Siberia which are called 'Beast from the East' hit the UK on Monday. Storm Emma, a deep low-pressure area which was developed in the Atlantic first hit Portugal and then entered the UK colliding with Siberian winds. It has resulted in heavy snow, freezing rain and the high-speed winds wreaking havoc across the UK.
On the other hand, four thousand flights across Europe have been canceled. Geneva International Airport has been shut down in Germany due to acute weather conditions.
