The arctic cold combined with a “cyclone bomb” of heavy snow and howling winds roaring out of the Great Lakes region on Friday and into the Upper Mississippi and Ohio valleys to wreak havoc on power systems, roadways and commercial air traffic.
Freezing rain and ice from a separate storm in the Pacific Northwest made travel treacherous there as well on Friday.From the Canadian to the Mexican border and coast to coast, some 240 million people in all were under winter weather warnings and advisories of some sort on Friday, according to the weather service.
The disruptions upended daily routines and holiday plans for millions of Americans during one of the busiest travel periods of the year. More than 5,700 U.S. flights were canceled on Friday, according to flight-tracking service FlightAware, while blizzard conditions virtually paralyzed road travel in some regions.
