2023年3月5日小于 1 分钟
Portland, Oregon received nearly a foot of snow in a single day in what proved to be its second-snowiest day in history. Mountainous areas of California experienced nearly unprecedented
snowfall accumulations
- more than 40 feet since the start of the season. At the airport in Flagstaff, Arizona, 11.6 feet have fallen this season, second only to the winter of 1948-49. Even Phoenix suburbs
woke up on Thursday to a dusting
of snow that covered cactuses
and lush
golf courses.
