The massive winter storm battering the US with plunging temperatures coast-to-coast has left thousands without power and prompted more than a dozen governors to create emergency response plans ahead of Christmas weekend
The storm – well on its way to becoming even stronger Friday – has delivered heavy snow and ice, making for grim road conditions with poor visibility, leaving some drivers stranded in unbearably frigid temperatures. Travel is also being snarled, with hundreds of miles of road closures and flight cancellations growing rapidly.
Ahead of the holiday weekend, more than 200 million people across nearly every state are under various winter weather alerts, including for wind chill, ice and snow. Nearly 177 million people in the US are under wind chill alerts from the Canadian border to the Mexican border and from Washington state to Florida, with below-zero wind chills expected in the Southeast by Friday.
