Winter Storm Slams U.S.: Snow, Ice and Power Outages Across Multiple States
A major winter storm sweeping across the United States has brought heavy snow, ice and dangerously cold conditions, causing widespread disruption to communities, travel and power infrastructure.
From the South to the Northeast, heavy snowfall and freezing rain have made roadways treacherous and knocked out electricity for hundreds of thousands of people. Several states have reported snow totals over a foot, and icy conditions have left highways and city streets hazardous.
The system has been tied to at least 30 deaths linked to hypothermia, road accidents and weather‑related incidents. Emergency authorities have issued cold alerts covering tens of millions of people as sub‑zero temperatures persist.
Power outages remain widespread, with crews working to restore electricity amid ongoing extreme cold. Travel has been seriously disrupted, with thousands of flight cancellations and difficult conditions on major highways. Forecasters warn that another storm system could bring more snow and bitter cold later this week.
