Winter Storm Hits 16 States – Emergency Alerts

A brutal winter storm, sweeping from New Mexico to Maine, has prompted emergency declarations in 16 states plus Washington, D.C., as 180 million people are on alert. By Saturday, Dallas airports faced the most flight cancellations, with over 2,300 U.S. routes canceled. Ice threats reach up to an inch in Mississippi and western Tennessee, potentially crippling roads and power. FEMA positioned 250,000 meals, 400,000 liters of water and 30 generators at Camp Minden, Louisiana, and has 28 Urban Search and Rescue teams on standby. The forecast calls for 3‑6 inches of snow across the interior, up to 1 foot in the Northeast, and 8‑12 inches in New York City.
