A powerful winter storm impacted the East Coast, including areas unaccustomed to heavy snow and ice, in late January 2026. The storm caused widespread power outages in states like Tennessee and Mississippi, prompting the National Guard to assist with debris removal and resident support. Utility crews worked to restore power before another wave of cold weather arrived. In Nashville, Tennessee, a local diner, Brown's Diner, responded to a power outage by grilling and distributing free burgers to the community to prevent food spoilage. The storm left many without power and in need of assistance, highlighting the challenges of severe winter weather in the region.
