Over the last three days, a massive winter megastorm has impacted large portions of the U.S., leaving 800,000+ without power and 11,000+ without flights. Beyond travel disruption and negative temperatures, the scale and urgency of this snowy blast has been one of the most severe in decades.
According to CBN News, the most affected regions have included the Midwest, Northeast, and South. Weather conditions have resulted in snow, ice, freezing rain, sleet, and high winds. Compared to typical winter storms and past severe events, this one is a doozy. With more than 200 million Americans impacted, 20+ governors have declared states of emergency, ranging from Level 3 road closures to an ice-skating rink-like highway.
As of Monday morning, January 26th, 2026, the storm has caused widespread power outages, transportation disruptions, emergency response system alerts, and numerous injuries, fatalities, and rescue concerns. USA Today even reports that at least 13 people have died as a result of these brutal conditions.
