Northeast

The Northeast region of the United States is currently experiencing the impact of Winter Storm Fern in late January 2026. This storm, which has already affected the Midwest and Southern US, is bringing record low temperatures, significant snowfall, and freezing rain to the region. The storm's severity has led to widespread power outages, with over a million customers without electricity. Authorities have issued warnings about dangerous conditions due to the mix of snow and freezing rain, prompting at least 20 states, including those in the Northeast, to declare a state of emergency. The storm is part of a larger weather pattern affecting over 180 million people across the southern and eastern United States, highlighting the storm's extensive reach and potential for disruption.
