A brutal winter storm knocked out power in California, closed interstate highways from Arizona to Wyoming and prompted more than 1,200 flight cancellations Wednesday — and the worst won't be over for several days.
Few places were untouched by the wild weather, some at the opposite extreme. Record highs were forecast from the mid-Atlantic states down through Florida, with some places expected to reach up to 40 degrees above normal.
Evening traffic on eastbound I-94 near downtown St. Paul, Minn. backs up as snow begins to fall Tuesday Feb. 21, 2023. "A major winter storm and multi-day closures are likely on Interstates and secondary roads throughout Wyoming!" the state Transportation Department said on Facebook."Sometimes it’s physically impossible to keep up with Mother Nature," said North Dakota Highway Patrol Sgt. Wade Kadrmas.
A departures board at Denver International Airport shows canceled and delayed flights during a winter storm on February 22, 2023 in Denver, Colorado. "Nearly the entire population of CA will be able to see snow from some vantage point later this week if they look in the right direction ," UCLA climate scientist Daniel Swain wrote on Twitter.
Temperatures could plunge as low as minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit Thursday and to minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit Friday in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Wind chills may fall to minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit , said Nathan Rick, a meteorologist in Grand Forks.
