CHICAGO — A major winter storm with millions of Americans in its path spread rain, freezing rain and heavy snow further across the country on Thursday, knocking out power to more than 100,000 homes and businesses and disrupting flights at the busy Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.
Parts of Ohio, New York and northern New England were expected to see heavy snowfall as the storm moves to the east with 12 to 18 inches of snow possible in some places through Friday, Orrison said. The Midwest snowstorm is nothing too unusual, except in some places it was so large that it had a bigger than normal path of intense snow, said Northern Illinois University meteorology professor Victor Gensini. With a warmer climate, people are forgetting what a Midwestern winter had long been like, he said.
“Unfortunately we are looking at enough ice accumulations that we will be looking at significant travel impacts,” Orrison said. The return of subfreezing weather and ice in Texas was unsettling to many residents after last year’s catastrophic outages, but state and local officials stressed that the outrages were local disruptions due to power lines encrusted or downed by ice — not grid failures.
