The first major winter storm of the year that stretched across the U.S. is continuing its deadly journey eastward, where cities in the mid-Atlantic, like Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia, are now experiencing significant impacts from heavy snow and ice.
FightAware.com reported as of Monday night 2,233 U.S. flight canceled.
The storm began its journey across the nation after slamming the West Coast, where it spawned the first tornado of the year in California.
At least six deaths, including a child, are being attributed to the storm across multiple states.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol said a 33-year-old driver died after getting out of their vehicle on Interstate 29 in Mount City. The vehicle began to slide, hitting the 33-year-old victim from Nebraska.
Another death was reported in Missouri when a 61-year-old Public Works employee was struck while performing snow removal operations in Jackson County, according to MSHP. Snow removal operations paused on Sunday because of the incident and resumed on Monday morning.
“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Everett Carter, who dedicated 40 years of service to Jackson County, including the last 8 years with the Public Works team,” Jackson County officials said in a statement. More here
