As winter storm moves across US, ice becomes bigger concern

Al Jazeera  

Multiday storm dumped more than a foot of snow in parts of the Midwest and triggered warnings from Texas to Maine. More than 200,000 homes and businesses lost power across the United States on Thursday as power companies struggled to keep pace with freezing rain and snow that weighed down tree limbs and encrusted power lines after a winter storm spread from Texas to the Northeast. “We have a lot of real estate covered by winter weather impacts this morning,” Andrew Orrison, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in College Park, Maryland, said early on Thursday. “We do have an expansive area of heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain occurring.” Parts of Ohio, New York and northern New England were expected to see heavy snowfall as the storm moves to the east with 30 to 45 centimetres of snow possible in some places through Friday, Orrison said. Facing a new test of Texas’ grid, Republican Governor Greg Abbott said it was holding up and on track to have more than enough power to get through the storm.
