The storm is affecting over 60 million people across the central and eastern United States. Treacherous road conditions, flight delays, and power outages are major concerns. Ice accumulation on roads, bridges, and overpasses poses significant risks for commuters and emergency services. The dangerously cold temperatures could lead to frostbite and hypothermia for those exposed to the elements without proper precautions. States of emergency have been declared in several regions to mobilize resources and ensure public safety.
