STORYLINE:
A massive winter storm continued to hit the US on Sunday, dumping sleet, freezing rain and snow across the South and up through New England, bringing frigid temperatures, widespread power outages and treacherous road conditions.

The ice and snowfall were expected to continue into Monday in much of the country, followed by very low temperatures, causing “dangerous travel and infrastructure impacts” to linger for several days, the National Weather Service said.

In New York City, Mayor Zohran Mamdani said at least five people died as temperatures plunged on Saturday before the snows arrived in earnest.

“While it’s still too early to determine the causes of death, it is a reminder that every year New Yorkers succumb to the cold,” he wrote on X. “The danger of this weather cannot be overstated.”

The mayor also announced that Monday would be a remote learning day for students in the nation’s largest school system.

As of Sunday morning, about 213 million people were under some sort of winter weather warning, officials said.

The number of customers without power approached 840,000, according to poweroutage.us, and the number was rising.

More than 10,000 flights had already been cancelled on Sunday and another 8,000 have been delayed, according to the flight tracker flightaware.com.
