A powerful winter storm sweeping across the United States has left more than half a million people without electricity and forced the cancellation of thousands of flights, creating widespread disruption from the Midwest to the East Coast. The storm delivered a dangerous mix of heavy snow, strong winds, and freezing rain, overwhelming power grids and making travel nearly impossible in several regions.

Airports in major cities have been hit especially hard, with airlines grounding flights due to icy runways and poor visibility. Travelers are facing long delays, packed terminals, and rapidly changing schedules as the storm continues to move across the country.

Road conditions have deteriorated quickly, prompting officials to warn residents to stay home unless absolutely necessary. Emergency crews are working to restore power and clear major routes, but ongoing snowfall and ice accumulation are slowing progress.

Forecasters expect the storm’s effects to linger, with additional snow and freezing temperatures likely to complicate recovery efforts. Residents are being urged to prepare for extended outages and avoid unnecessary travel as the system continues its path across the nation.
