A powerful bomb cyclone moved across the Midwest, bringing heavy snow, strong winds, and frigid temperatures to the Great Lakes and Northeast. The storm caused widespread power outages, affecting over 115,000 customers, particularly in Michigan. As the system moved into Canada, a surge of Arctic air brought sub-freezing temperatures as far south as Florida and significant snowfall, with some New York regions expecting up to three feet of snow. Treacherous travel conditions were reported across affected areas.
