US meteorologists are warning of life-threatening weather conditions, calling it a “once in a generation” phenomenon.
More than 200 million Americans, or 60% of the population, are affected by the historic severe weather that is hitting the United States from end to end.
“Severe weather extends across the central and eastern states and wide from the East Coast to the Pacific Northwest,” according to the weather service.

Europe is another planet…
At the same time in Europe – including Greece – Christmas will not be snowy only, as the weather will resemble spring.
According to meteorologists, the major and large-scale weather phenomenon currently underway in the North American region is expected to have a significant impact on the weather in Europe during Christmas, according to the latest data.
During the weekend of 24-25/12 and until at least the middle of next week, high pressure is expected to prevail over most of mainly southern Europe, as well as a significant rise in temperature in most of Europe, including Greece.
In addition, a significant absence of precipitation is expected mainly in the Mediterranean region, including our country, while more rainy weather is expected mainly in West/Northwest and Central Europe.
