Christmas Day Storm Closes Cities Across Nation

-NEVADA CITY
Around noon yesterday a powerful snowstorm slammed down on Nevada City. Within one hour the storm had dumped over five feet of snow in Downtown. The storm continued to sweep down the nation, dumping record-breaking amounts of snow in the Northeast. At the time of this paper's publication, the storm was stalling over Rensselaer. Meteorologists predict that the storm will gain another wave of strength around noon Tuesday, as another, colder front pushes in from the Gulf.

While major fronts in the north are normal around this time of year, only once on record have eastern and western fronts combined. That was in 1954, a year which saw a record breaking six feet of snow in Rensselaer. the combination of these two current fronts is expected to drop as much as eight feet of snow in Rensselaer. The national government has requested that all residents within the path of the storm say indoors at all times. The government has also requested that people with flights through the path of the storm reschedule them, to avoid becoming stranded at an airport. KNaFCo has decided to offer free rescheduling for flights through all eastern airports.
