A wave of snow, ice, winds and plummeting temperatures created dangerous travel conditions in the central and southern US states to the country's east coast, forcing the closure of schools and government institutions in several states.

Snow and ice covered major roads in Kansas, western Nebraska and parts of Indiana, where the state's National Guard was activated to help stranded travelers. At least 8 inches of snow was expected, along with winds gusting to 45 mph (72 kph).

The National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings from Kansas to Missouri to New Jersey.

"Some areas in this region will see the heaviest snowfall, which could be the heaviest in at least a decade," the weather service said.

The polar vortex of extremely cold air usually revolves around the North Pole. People in the United States, Europe, and Asia experience its intense cold as the air currents shift south.

Studies show that rapid warming in the Arctic is partly responsible for the increasing frequency of the polar vortex, which is expanding its icy influence.

School classes are canceled.

Schools were closed widely on Monday. Districts in Indiana, Virginia and Kentucky announced the cancellation of classes on Sunday afternoon.

Public schools in Kentucky canceled classes, extracurricular activities and sports for nearly 100,000 students.

Schools were also closed in Maryland, where Governor Wes Moore declared a state of emergency on Sunday and announced that state institutions would be closed on Monday.

"The safety of Marylanders is our top priority. Please do not travel during this storm. Take precautions for your family and home and charge your communications devices in case there is a power outage," Mr. Moore said in a statement./VOA
