Blizzard warnings have been issued across the Central Plains, threatening Christmas Day travelers with delays and dangerous road conditions.
More than 1.1 million people in parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado and Wyoming were under blizzard warnings on Monday afternoon.
“Significant winter storm will ‘let it snow, let it snow, let it snow’ over portions of the Central Plains on Christmas where blizzard conditions and hazardous travel are anticipated; treacherous ice accumulations expected in the eastern Dakotas and northern Minnesota,” the National Weather Service said early Monday.

First Diablo 4 and now this… Horrible company.
Lol my need ass was like how the hell does this company mess up so bad!? Then I realized it was weather related. Still begs the question though hahaha
Just curious - how are those million mile Tesla trucks doing in the snow? Still cheaper from day one in the worst case scenario?
What in the world does this have to do with the article at all
From the trucks in the thumbnail and the widely held knowledge of the underperformance of the vehicles in the cold despite Musk’s claims from 2019 that the trucks were ready to replace the entire US trucking fleet starting back then.
The trucks in the thumbnail aren’t Tesla…
Yes. That is the point. Tesla trucks would be unable to replace diesel trucks in this scenario. Tesla trucks can’t make it across the country in sunny weather without a pit crew tailing them, much less handle a double digit below zero midwest snowstorm. I am pointing it out because this is yet another place where Elon was lying.
But why in the world are you bringing them up at all? They literally have nothing to do with this article. You are adding nothing to the conversation and taking the entire thread off topic.
Okay, but how would a Tesla 2-in-1 weedwacker/edger perform on your lawn vs. a gas-powered model?
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?
Is [email protected] ever going to stop spamming US domestic news?
Be the change you want to see.
Okay, I will begin spamming news about the postal services, electricity and weather in northern Norway to the benefit of all./s
You should check out [email protected]. It’s twice the size of this community and focuses on non-US news.
Probably a good suggestion, though I do think it is weird that “news” should default to be US centric unless otherwise specified.
It was like that on reddit too.
Reddit was more directly a US centric site. Lemmy.world doesn’t set out to be US centric but I’m sure the highest user base is people in the US.
You are right and I think it is very much fair to be from the US and them posting and engaging with content they care about. However, the instance is lemmy.world and they could have called the community USnews or something or just written in the sidebar that it is focused on the US. What I find annoying of it all is the american exceptionalism.
If many users are from the US, and many users post news that is relevant to them, then many posts, possibly most may posts will be US centric.
Pretty simple stuff
Thx for explaining. The issue was not that I thought it to be egotistical, but that I did not understand that there are indeed news in the US.
US defaultism is everywhere, even on the 'verse
