The most winter weather-related deaths have occurred in Tennessee after a truck spun out of control due to snowy conditions, causing it to slam into a tractor-trailer.
The governor of Oregon declared a state of emergency as its state is being pelted with freezing rain and winter storms that have led to fallen trees, massive power outages and at least 16 deaths.
Two adults and one teenager died after a power line fell onto a car in northeast Portland on Wednesday morning following a severe storm in Oregon. Officials also found an uninjured two-year-old on the scene whom they took to the hospital.
Now, several inches of lake-effect snow is hitting the Great Lakes region and northeast US, while arctic temperatures settle over the southeast US.
In Florida, meteorologists say low temperatures could impact wildlife, leading to a rare weather-related phenomenon: falling iguanas.
The severe winter storms have also unleashed travel chaos across the country, leading to thousands of flight cancellations and delays across the country.
See stunning satellite footage of ice storm over Pacific Northwest A winter storm blew across the Pacific Northwest earlier this week, covering Portland, Oregon in a quarter-inch of ice.
Now, stunning satellite imagery from the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere at Colorado State University shows the storm’s path across the western US.

Yes, climate change is still real even though much of the US is freezing this week In fact, a warming climate can sometimes increase the likelihood of unusual cold weather events.
For example, climate change is responsible for increasing the frequency and intensity of heavy precipitation, according to a widely-cited, peer-reviewed study from 2015.
Further, a warmer atmosphere can also hold more water, leading to more rain and snow, according to Climate Signals , a nonprofit that specializes in climate attribution research. New research also indicates a warming Arctic may lead to arctic air outbreaks in the US — just like what we’re seeing today across the country.
While we’re not yet clear on how climate change has impacted this specific storm spell, we do know this: This month’s storms do not indicate the climate crisis has disappeared.

Washington, DC may see up to 2 inches of snow Friday morning Washington, DC and the surrounding region could see up to 2 inches of snow on Friday morning, the National Weather Service forecasts.
That precipitation could bring more closures to the region as the NWS warns of a hazardous commute tomorrow morning.
Earlier this week, several nearby school districts closed and federal offices shut down for the day for the time in two years after about 3 inches of snow blanketed the nation’s capital.

Friday’s forecast The midwest can expect an “arctic air intrusion,” according to the National Weather Service. While the temperatures on the whole won’t drop as low as last week, some places, like Missouri and Kansas, will face sub-zero temperatures by Saturday morning. On top of that, wind chill — as low as -20 to -30 — is likely to affect those areas too. The Great Lakes region is also expected to experience lake-effect snow showers. Out east, snowfall is anticipated in the Mid-Atlantic and southern New England coastal regions. There is a winter storm warning in effect for parts of West Virginia on Friday. ‘Dangerously cold’ air is supposed to impact the southern states, including Mississippi and Louisiana, from Friday through Saturday night. Wind chills are expected to be in the single digits. In the west, heavy precipitation will continue. Snow could turn into freezing rain or sleet in Washington, while heavy rain is anticipated to slam California. In the Sacramento Valley, heavy rain on Friday evening into Saturday is likely to turn into heavy snow on Sunday afternoon. Kelly Rissman 19 January 2024 15:30
