Over half the of US states in Lower 48 are covered in snow from this weekend's winter storm, with 18 states seeing accumulations of a foot or more.

As of Monday morning, more than 800,000 customers remain without power and restoration crews are gearing up for a prolonged period of outages. Southern states have been hit the hardest by the outages with ice wreaking havoc on trees and power lines in Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.

Air travelers are still facing widespread disruptions, with thousands of flights cancelled and delayed Monday, following the worst day for US flight cancellations since the Covid-19 pandemic.
