Overview
- Airlines report far fewer disruptions on Tuesday with roughly 1,100–1,300 cancellations early in the day and nearly 20,000 cancellations since Friday, and the transportation secretary says schedules should normalize by Wednesday.
- More than 540,000 customers remain without electricity across multiple southern states on Tuesday morning, and officials warn some restorations could take days as ice-damaged trees and lines complicate repairs.
- At least 30 deaths have been linked to the storm across the United States, according to state and local reports compiled by news outlets.
- Toronto’s Pearson Airport logged a record 46 cm of snow in a single day, and city officials say large-scale snow removal will take several days with more than 600 plows and about 1,300 personnel deployed.
- NOAA warns that well-below-normal temperatures will persist for much of the eastern U.S. this week and that a potential East Coast storm this weekend is being monitored.
