Snowstorm shuts down Binghamton life

Everything from grocery stores to schools and even local government offices in Binghamton is at a standstill as a massive snowstorm sweeps through the region. Weis Markets, schools like Binghamton University and Ithaca College, and countless others are closed or moving online. State and local officials have declared emergencies, issued travel bans, and urged everyone to stay off the roads. Trash pickup and public transit are on hold, too. For many, this means a rare, unexpected pause in daily routines. How are you handling the shutdown? Are you enjoying the snow day or worried about the disruptions? #Transportation #Binghamton #Snowstorm

Ohio braces for travel bans as snowstorm hits

Major winter weather is about to shake up daily life across Ohio. With heavy snow and ice on the way, county sheriffs can declare snow emergencies—sometimes even banning all non-emergency travel.

This isn’t just about inconvenience; it’s about safety and letting plows and first responders do their jobs. How do you feel about these strict rules? Have you ever been caught out during a Level 3 emergency? Let’s talk about how this impacts your plans and routines. #Transportation #OhioWeather #Snowstorm

Thousands without power in Texas: A powerful winter storm swept through Texas overnight, leaving thousands without electricity as freezing rain and heavy winds battered power lines. Utility crews are working around the clock to restore service, but officials warn it could take days before all customers are back online. The hardest-hit areas include North Texas and parts of Central Texas, where icy roads have also caused vehicle accidents and school closures. Residents are being urged to conserve heat and check on elderly neighbors as dangerously low temperatures continue through the weekend.

Snowstorm Nightmare: 20km Traffic Jam!

Imagine being stuck in your car for hours as snow piles up and the highway turns into a frozen parking lot!

Traffic’s moving again, but talk about a wild winter story! #Transportation #snowstorm #Poland

🚨BREAKING: Alternate Side Parking Suspended as Winter Storm Moves In City officials have announced that Alternate Side Parking regulations are suspended due to the ongoing winter storm.

Snow in the Atacama?!

The Atacama Desert—literally one of the driest places on Earth—just got a surprise snow day! A freak snowstorm blanketed this Chilean desert, shutting down a massive radio telescope that usually scans the universe. The snow didn’t stick around long (the sun’s that intense), but it was enough to turn the landscape white for a hot minute. Climate change might be making these wild weather moments more common. Would you ever expect snow in a place that barely gets rain? #Science #AtacamaDesert #Snowstorm
