35 Deaths, 550,000 Outages in Record U.S. Winter Storm
35 people died as a brutal storm left 550,000 homes powerless.
On Jan. 27, 2026, the National Weather Service warned of an extreme cold wave that spanned from Texas to Pennsylvania, with wind chills reaching ‑29 °C. More than 550 000 power outages were reported, especially in the South, after the storm deposited snow and ice over 2,100 km—from Arkansas to New England. The cold claimed at least 35 lives across 14 states: three brothers died falling through ice in Bonham, Texas; two were hit by snow‑plows in Massachusetts and Ohio; a teen sledding fatality in Arkansas; a Kansas woman was found frozen; and eight New York City residents died outdoors. Governors in Kentucky, Mississippi, and Tennessee warned residents to seek warming shelters and prepared for another Arctic surge on Tuesday.
