Snow and ice put up final stand in Northeast as brutal cold slides in behind storm

• Deadly cold settles in: At least seven people have died in the coldest temperatures of winter. The brutal cold will linger into the week, raising fears for those without shelter or power for days.

• Crippling blow: Damaging ice knocked out power to over 1 million customers across the mid-Atlantic and South. Outages could last for days in hard-hit Nashville, Mississippi and beyond.

• No travel, no school: Sunday was the worst day for flight cancellations since the pandemic. Over 17,000 flights, an extraordinary amount, have been canceled overall during this storm. Schools in major cities have canceled classes or moved to remote learning for Monday.

• Pouring snow and sleet: Heavy snow and sleet were falling in the Northeast’s highly populous Interstate 95 corridor, with some cities, including Boston, expecting their biggest snow in years.
