More than 200,000 homes and businesses in central and eastern USA remained powerless after a deadly winter storm hit the area, putting the region under a massive snow blanket, media reports said on Wednesday.


The storm ravaged the central and eastern half of the country on January 5-6.

The storm hammered a swath of the country from Kansas and Missouri to Virginia and New Jersey with heavy snow and ice, triggering emergency declarations as disruptions piled up on roads and at airports, USA Today reported.

The storm reportedly shattered snowfall records in several states across central and eastern USA.

Heavy snow forced widespread closure of schools and federal office buildings in Washington, D.C.

The inclement weather also impacted the schedule of Tuesday's funeral events to honour former President Jimmy Carter, USA Today reported.

The precarious weather conditions disrupted flight services in airports in the affected regions.

The US might witness severe weather in the upcoming days with blizzard conditions persisting across several regions in the nation.

A state of emergency was declared on Monday in multiple states including Kansas, Kentucky, Arkansas, West Virginia and Virginia.

Public Utility Commission of Texas posted on X: "Freezing temps, snow, and ice forecast across #Texas could trigger LOCAL power outages. If you experience outages, contact your LOCAL utility. Monitor outage maps and find utility contact information on the PUCT's Storm."

PJM Interconnection, a major power grid operator of the country, issued a 'Cold Weather Alert' for its Western Region for January 8–10.
