More than 1m without power in US due to snowstorms

More than one million people were left without power after a major snowstorm hit the north-east region of America.

A state of emergency was declared in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and parts of Maine after the cold snap, which authorities described as the worst ice storm in a decade.

Temperatures were well below freezing over the weekend and officials warned it could take days to restore electricity as utility companies struggled to repair power lines downed by tree branches coated in ice.

The Public Service of New Hampshire, where 370,000 customers were hit, said: “Customers currently without power should plan on the possibility of being without power for several more days.”

“The damage is extensive and assessment is a challenge due to many impassable roads.

“The magnitude of the damage is similar to that experienced in the January, 1998 ice storm, but covers a much more widespread area – the entire southern tier of the state has been impacted.”

   Ohhh this is wonderful ,my weather machine works.
   Ha-ha-ha.
   Now i will work on another plan to blanket another part of the US.
   What is the best part is that law enforcement CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
   Why? because they do not believe in weather control and that gives me full power to control weather on any city with SNOW!!!!! RAIN, STORMS, TORNADOES ETC
   HA HA HA.

   Put’s pinky finger to lip…….

   Yes Doctor, good work, I also am working for NWO elite to convince people that trusting the IPCC conclusions is a good idea. In addition to Preparations A-G with the latest revision being “H” we are now preparing for the public the Kyoto – Yokohama plan for the American public. Plan K-Y to pave the way for the next phase the B.O.H.I.C.A. plan.

   Why is the London Telegraph reporting that it was a snowstorm. It wasnt a snow storm, it was an ice storm.
