Abstract

A significant winter storm has impacted the US Atlantic Coast, causing heavy snow and ice, widespread power outages, and significant disruptions to air travel. As of Sunday afternoon, over 1 million homes and businesses, primarily in Tennessee, Mississippi, and Louisiana, were without electricity, and more than 17,000 flights were canceled from Saturday through Monday. The storm is expected to bring up to 18 inches of snow to New England and has led to emergency measures from the Energy Department to maximize power generation amid surging demand. Conditions are anticipated to remain hazardous, with bitterly cold temperatures likely prolonging the effects of the storm. [Extracted from the article]
