Jan. 25 (UPI) -- An estimated 10,000 flights have been canceled and more than 600,000 people are without power as a wicked weekend winter storm rolls across the country.
Winter Storm Fern, has spread ice and heavy snow across 34 states in the last two days, having already buried areas from Arizona, Texas and other parts of the Midwest and Deep South laid into the Northeast overnight Saturday.
Forecasts on Sunday morning predicted that more snow, sleet and freezing rain is expected across a wide swath of the Eastern half of the United States, warning of extensive tree damage and widespread power outages that could potentially last for days, The Weather Channel reported.
In a three-day short-range forecast discussion, the National Weather Service said it expects heavy snow to fall in areas from the Ohio Valley to the entire Northeast and potentially "catastrophic" ice accumulation from the Lower Mississippi Valley to the mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions.
