I want to show you some of the latest video in from the St. Louis area.

我想給你們看一些來自聖路易斯地區的最新影片。

A whole lot of snow, wet, heavy snow accumulating there.

那裡正在積累大量的雪，又濕又重的雪。

And then this is the traffic cam video from earlier in the day showing semi trucks snarling interstate traffic across the United States.

然後這是今天稍早的交通攝影機影片，顯示半拖車讓全美國的州際交通陷入混亂。

Right now more than 50 million people are under winter weather alerts.

目前有超過五千萬人處於冬季天氣警報之下。

The storm is already disrupting travel on the roads and in the skies on what is set to be a record busy holiday weekend.

這場風暴已經擾亂了即將到來的假期週末的陸路和空中交通，這個週末預計將是交通最繁忙的紀錄。

Meteorologist Chris Warren is tracking the severe weather.

氣象學家 Chris Warren 正在追蹤這場惡劣天氣。

Well, I'll tell you what, Omar, the boys of summer definitely hibernating here as we look at the field of dreams.

嗯，我告訴你，Omar，當我們看著夢幻球場時，夏季男孩們肯定是在冬眠。

Iowa, 27 degrees and a blanket of white snow still falling right now.

愛荷華州，27 度，一片白雪仍然在下。

Winter storm warning stretching across a big portion of the Midwest, around the Great Lakes and already in the plains.

冬季風暴警告涵蓋了中西部大部分地區，包括大湖區，以及平原地區。

我們即將迎來將近一英尺的降雪。

Preliminary snowfall totals here In Stratford, Iowa, 11 inches again many of these locations Billings, 8 inches here and in Missouri, North Dakota, Iowa still seeing the snow falling.

在愛荷華州斯特拉特福的初步降雪總量為 11 英寸，許多地方如比靈斯為 8 英寸，密蘇裡州、北達科他州、愛荷華州仍在持續降雪。

Snow is falling and causing delays as well.

And in Chicago at O' Hare seeing about 15 to 30 minute delays for takeoffs.

在芝加哥的奧黑爾國際機場，起飛延誤了大約 15 到 30 分鐘。

However, if you have a plane ticket and you're somewhere else in the country, you are a plane ticket to Chicago, you're delayed possibly, possibly several hours, maybe up around four or five hours depending on where you are going into it with that ground delay.

不過，如果你有飛往芝加哥的機票，但你人在國內其他地方，你可能會延誤好幾個小時，甚至可能長達四到五個小時，取決於你的出發地和地面延誤情況。

Ground stop also at Midway, the winter storm warnings in pink.

中途國際機場也實施了地面停飛，粉紅色標示的是冬季風暴警告區域。

That's where expecting higher impact snowfall.

這些地方預計會有較大的降雪影響。

Either the rates, how fast the snow is coming down, reducing visibility, making it tough on the road or just too much for the plows to keep up with, making it very slippery as well.

降雪速度快，降低了能見度，讓路況變得艱難，或者積雪太多，剷雪車難以應付，路面也變得非常濕滑。

So we're seeing that high impact snow happening right now.

所以我們現在正看到高影響的降雪正在發生。

The purple and the darker purple is where the heavier snow is falling.

紫色的和深紫色的區域是降雪較大的地方。

The rain snow line maybe a little wintry mix, sleet mixed in there and then turning into rain.

雨雪線可能會有少許的混合，摻雜著冰霰，然後轉為雨。

Round after round of heavy snow causing some problems there on the roadways across parts of the Great Lakes.

一波又一波的強降雪，對大湖區的道路造成了一些問題。

Here's the rain eventually going to see more thunderstorms as we time it out.

這裡的雨，隨著時間推移，最終會看到更多的雷陣雨。

Wind is also going to be a factor with this.

So blowing snow where it's colder and the snow is a little bit drier, more susceptible to being blown around with will be a concern as well.

所以，在比較冷、雪稍微乾燥、更容易被吹動的地方，會有吹雪的現象，這也是一個令人擔憂的點。

我們也看到這些風暴在這裡開始形成。

Tonight it's moving into the northeast with the Wind still howling around some lake enhancer even affect snow throughout parts of the Great Lakes into early tomorrow morning.

今晚會移往東北部，風依然呼嘯，甚至影響大湖區部分地區的降雪，直到明早。

As far as this evening and tonight goes, there is a severe weather threat, includes Dallas down to Houston, much of east Texas and into western Louisiana.

Damaging winds, large hail and even an isolated tornado a possibility.

破壞性的強風、大冰雹，甚至零星的龍捲風都有可能發生。

The amount of snow, Omar, still on top of what has already come down, approaching 8 to even a foot of snow.

降雪量，Omar，在已降下的雪上，預計會累積到 8 吋甚至 1 呎。

Still possible some serious conditions there.

那裡仍有可能出現嚴重的狀況。

I want to bring in the emergency management coordinator for Missouri's Department of Transportation, Joe Moore.

我想請來密蘇裡州交通部的緊急事務協調員 Joe Moore。

So I just want to start with how are conditions across your state right now?

所以我想先問，您那州的現況如何？

Well, Omar, really conditions are improving greatly here in Missouri.

嗯，Omar，密蘇裡州這裡的狀況真的大有改善。

That snow rain line as you guys just speaking about has really started to come through well across our i70 corridor.

就像你們剛才說的，那條雨夾雪線已經開始明顯地穿過我們的 I-70 走廊。

You know, we're still receiving some rain, but

你知道，我們還在下點雨，但是

they're wet and you know, they're pretty good to travel on.

路是濕的，而且你知道，開車過去還挺不錯的。

That's great to hear, especially as people start considering, you know, traveling back from the Thanksgiving holiday.

聽到這個真是太好了，尤其是在大家開始考慮，你知道，從感恩節假期返程的時候。

Louis police had been urging drivers to stay off the road until later in the day because because of the snow, which again sounds like it's gotten, you know, just a little bit more wet outside now.

路易斯警方曾敦促駕駛員在當天晚些時候之前不要上路，因為下雪，聽起來現在外面的雪確實變得，你知道，稍微濕潤了一些。

But DOT traffic camera videos were showing those semi trucks stuck on the highway.

但是交通部的交通攝影機畫面顯示那些半拖車卡在高速公路上。

Do you have what is your top concern, I guess as we sort close out this weekend travel period, even if, as you mentioned, conditions might be improving slightly today?

我想問，在你結束這個週末的旅行期時，你最擔心的是什麼，即使，就像你提到的，今天的狀況可能略有改善？

Well, you know, we're hearing that the weather, especially the temperature is going to get colder tonight and into Sunday into Monday morning.

嗯，你知道，我們聽說今晚到週日、週一早上，天氣，尤其是氣溫會變得更冷。

And so there's always that chance of refreeze.

所以總是會有再次結冰的可能。

And that's really going to be our biggest concern is that refreeze.

而這確實是我們最大的擔憂，就是再次結冰。

We are treating the roads and we will have crews out until the roads are dry.

我們正在處理路面，並且會有工班持續工作，直到路面乾燥為止。

So through this evening, overnight hours into Sunday and probably even to Monday morning, we'll still have crews out checking those roadways, making sure they're safe for those travelers to get home to their families.

所以從今晚、深夜到週日，甚至可能到週一早上，我們都會有工班在外檢查路況，確保旅客能安全返家與家人團聚。

And you know, just a little bit earlier, I was speaking to some transportation folks in Illinois, your neighbors there and then over in Iowa also your neighbors kind of hidden this whole region there.

而且你知道，就在稍早之前，我還跟伊利諾州的交通人員聊過，他們是你們的鄰居，還有愛荷華州的，他們也是你們的鄰居，差不多就在這個整個區域。

You guys are not strangers to snow in these conditions and sort of making sure the roads are as safe as possible.

你們對下雪和確保路況盡可能安全這些情況並不陌生。

But both of them have sort of talked about at points how you all coordinate between states to sort of make sure you're covered across the region.

但他們都曾談到，你們是如何在各州之間協調，以確保整個區域都能得到涵蓋。

And if not, how do you approach sort of these winter holidays where, you know, a lot more people than usual are going to be out on these roads?

如果沒有，你們要如何應對這些冬季假期，你知道，比平常多很多人會上路？

You know, with this storm coming in, we really started discussing this on Monday.

你知道，隨著這場風暴來襲，我們從週一就開始討論了。

You know, that's quite a few days out from when it actually occurred.

你知道，這距離實際發生還有好幾天。

And that's kind of when we started our planning with our partners with sema, the State Emergency Management Agency here in Missouri, Missouri State Highway Patrol and the National Weather Service.

這差不多就是我們開始與合作夥伴、密蘇裡州的州緊急事務管理局 (SEMA)、密蘇裡州公路巡邏隊和國家氣象局進行規劃的時候。

You know, that's really when we started this.

你知道，我們真的就是從那時候開始的。

So we would know we'd have our crews ready, our equipment ready and just really ready to respond in the event that it did come in a little bit earlier.

所以我們就能確保我們的團隊、設備都準備就緒，並且真的隨時準備好應對，以防它提早一點來臨。

But, you know, I think our response time was right on.

不過，我想我們的應對時間是剛剛好的。

We had several EOCs open across the state updating the weather conditions and road conditions.

我們在全州開設了幾個緊急應變中心，更新天氣和路況。

So I feel we had a really good response to this storm.

所以我覺得我們對這次風暴的應對非常好。

Joe Moore, appreciate the perspective as always.

Joe Moore，感謝您一如既往的分享。

Across the US right now, more than 50 million people are under winter weather alerts and I want to bring in some of those folks that might see some issues, including Illinois Transportation Secretary Ajia Biaggi, who joins us from Chicago.

全美各地，有超過五千萬人正處於冬季天氣警報之下，我想連線幾位可能會遇到問題的地區的朋友，包括來自芝加哥的伊利諾州交通部長 Ajia Biaggi。

So I just want to start with what sort of issues or concerns are you keeping your eyes on right now?

所以我想先問，您目前最關注哪些問題或擔憂？

Thank you for having us Totally concerned about folks taking their time when they're driving.

謝謝您的邀請。我們非常擔心大家開車時沒有預留足夠的時間。

We really need you to be aware, take your time on these roads and make sure that you're giving space not only to other cars around you but but also especially to the heavy trucks that are moving through.

我們真的需要您提高警覺，開車時放慢速度，並確保您不僅給予周遭車輛空間，特別是那些正在行駛的重型半拖車。

Those are the kinds of conflicts that we're really concerned about.

這些是我們真正擔心的衝突類型。

Our entire truck convoy is out there making sure our roads are clear.

我們所有的半拖車隊伍都已出動，確保我們的道路暢通。

And you know, obviously we're in a weekend where a lot of people are likely driving back from families over the Thanksgiving holiday or at the very least considering getting back out on the roads.

而且，顯然我們正值一個週末，很多人可能正從家人那裡開車回家過感恩節假期，或者至少在考慮再次上路。

I just wonder what are you expecting as evening approaches and as it looks like you got some real winter weather in your area already, but

我只是想知道，隨著夜晚的到來，而且您那裡似乎已經有真正的冬季天氣了，您預計會怎麼樣？

And across our entire state, we think we'll see somewhere between 8 to 12 inches before it's done on average around the state and it's going to go through Sunday.

在我們整個州，我們認為平均會有 8 到 12 英寸的降雪，這將持續到週日。

So really we're entering the thick of it right now and that is of our most concern.

所以我們現在真的進入了最嚴重的階段，這也是我們最擔心的。

So if you don't have to travel, please don't and stay home or stay with friends if you can.

所以，如果您不需要旅行，請不要出門，如果可以的話，請待在家裡或和朋友在一起。

But if you do have to travel, we want you to take it easy.

但如果您真的必須旅行，我們希望您慢慢來。

And certainly we've done a lot of work to pre salt the roads so we start preparing for snow back in springtime.

當然，我們做了很多工作來預先撒鹽，我們從春天就開始為下雪做準備了。

And so we have plenty of salt, plenty of trucks out there.

所以我們有足夠的鹽，足夠的卡車在那裡。

We've done the pretreatment work and now it's up to everyone to if you can stay off the roads, if you can't, take your time, and

我們已經完成了預處理工作，現在就看大家了，如果可以的話，請待在路上，如果不行，請慢慢來，

if you do see our trucks out there, we need you to give them a little room to get the job done.

所以，如果您看到我們的卡車在那裡，我們希望您能給它們一點空間來完成工作。

And you know, we've been keeping an eye on the airports there in Chicago, which I know isn't exactly under your purview, how the airports are managed.

而且，我們一直在關注芝加哥的機場，我知道這不是您的職責範圍，機場是如何管理的。

But just for perspective, we're seeing a lot of delays, a lot of cancellations tied to this weather, most likely.

但從另一個角度來看，我們看到很多延誤和取消，很可能都與這次天氣有關。

But also, I mean, again, as I mentioned, people trying to figure out how they're going to get home.

但同樣，我說過，人們正在試圖弄清楚他們要如何回家。

Just what is your advice to many of those passengers who again are likely considering, well, hey, my flight's not getting out.

對於許多可能正在考慮「我的班機飛不了」的乘客，您有什麼建議？

Maybe I should drive or maybe I should stay a few extra nights.

也許我應該開車，或者也許我應該多待幾晚。

Just what is your advice to some of those travelers caught up right now?

對於那些現在被困住的旅客，您有什麼建議？

Yeah, if you can have the opportunity to stay put, maybe have a couple of leftovers with your family, stick around, stay where you are, that's good for everybody because the more cars that we have on the road, the more difficult it actually is to clean the road.

是的，如果您有機會待著不動，也許和家人一起享用一些剩菜，多待一會兒，留在原地，這對每個人都有好處，因為我們路上開的車越多，實際上就越難清理道路。

所以，如果您能待著不動，我們將不勝感激。

But again, if you are going to get out there, make sure you've got your car fitted out with everything you need and that makes sure you have a blanket, that you've got food, that you've got, all the materials that you need in case you do get stuck and you need help.

但同樣，如果您要出門，請確保您的車輛配備了您需要的一切，並確保您有毯子、食物，以及您需要的所有物品，以防萬一您被困住需要幫助。
