Wild Weather: Blizzards

In the last hour, meteorologists have issued a weather warning as the incoming blizzard is expected to last days and cause severe damage. People are being advised to stay at home.
Gritting trucks are already preparing the roads with salt, but they will become extremely icy and cars may be snowed in.
In some places, a white out may occur where the ground and sky look the same, causing people to get lost.
Rescue services are attending a scene where prevailing winds and heavy snowfall have brought down power lines and damaged buildings that are not designed to withstand such a storm.
