Detroit Experiences Historic Snowfall, Paralyzing CityDetroit Experiences Historic Snowfall, Paralyzing City Detroit has been hit by a historic snowfall that has paralyzed the city. The storm, which began on Monday and continued into Tuesday, dumped a record-breaking 15.5 inches of snow on the city. The snowfall has caused widespread travel disruptions, with roads closed and public transportation suspended. Detroit Metropolitan Airport has been forced to cancel hundreds of flights, and many schools and businesses have closed. Emergency crews are working around the clock to clear the snow and restore power to homes and businesses that have been knocked out by the storm. However, the sheer volume of snow has made it difficult for crews to keep up, and many areas of the city remain impassable. The snowfall has also created hazardous conditions for residents. Slippery roads have led to numerous car accidents, and downed power lines have posed a serious safety risk. Residents have been urged to stay indoors and avoid travel unless absolutely necessary. The city of Detroit has declared a state of emergency and has activated its emergency operations center. Mayor Mike Duggan has urged residents to stay home and off the roads. “This is a dangerous and historic storm,” Duggan said. “We are asking all residents to stay home and off the roads so that our crews can clear the snow and restore power as quickly as possible.” The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Detroit and the surrounding area. The warning is in effect until Wednesday morning. The snowfall is expected to continue into Wednesday, with another 2-4 inches of snow possible. Residents are urged to be prepared for continued travel disruptions and power outages.
