Winter Storm Live Updates: 170M+ Under Alerts as Ice, Snow, and Outages Spread East

What to know

A major winter storm is still producing disruptive impacts across a broad slice of the U.S., even as the system begins to move offshore. The focus on Monday is shifting to three problem areas: lingering heavy snow in the Northeast, pockets of freezing rain in the Mid-Atlantic, and lake-effect snow downwind of the Great Lakes.

• Heavy snow remains a concern in the Northeast today, with additional snow continuing into Tuesday in some areas as the storm gradually exits.

• Parts of the Mid-Atlantic still face a light freezing rain risk, which can quickly re-glaze roads and power lines, especially where earlier icing already occurred.

• Lake-effect snow is expected to develop near the Great Lakes, extending travel issues beyond the core storm track.

• Power outages remain widespread nationwide, with more than 820,000 customers reported without electricity as of Monday morning in storm-impacted regions.

• Air travel is still heavily disrupted, with thousands of additional cancellations reported Monday on top of very high totals Sunday.

• Dangerous cold remains locked in behind the storm, keeping recovery slower because snow and ice do not melt efficiently when temperatures stay below freezing for multiple days.
