Heavy Snow and Ice to Impact Millions as Winter Storm Sweeps Across US
The storm will cause widespread travel disruptions, power outages, and life-threatening cold for over 170 million people, with 19 million under Ice Storm Warnings, officials said.
- More than 170 million Americans face a sprawling winter storm starting in Texas and Oklahoma on Friday, expanding northeast Saturday and Sunday, with the system winding down by Monday as frigid air follows.
- Two major ice corridors are expected from East Texas into Central Tennessee and from Northern Georgia into Central Virginia, risking ice accretion that could snap power lines and trees with a quarter to half inch of ice.
- Forecast maps show interior Northeast cities facing major accumulations as more than 6,000 flights could be canceled between Saturday and Monday, and over 75 Amtrak trains canceled between Friday and Sunday.
- Federal and state officials declared emergencies, with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem activating the National Response Coordination Center and staging resources including 400,000 liters of water and 28 Urban Search and Rescue teams.
- With shelters and outreach stretched, officials warned the cold will threaten unhoused residents before and after the storm, while Dallas stays below 32 degrees until Tuesday and Boston to Washington may freeze through February.
