A monstrous once-in-a-decade winter storm is battering a huge swath of the central US with snow and frigid temperatures, making a mess of highways and canceling flights as the holiday travel season peaks.
Blinding snow squalls and dangerous cold have gripped the region as an estimated 112.7 million people are set to travel at least 50 miles (80 kilometres) through January 2, according to AAA.
The low in Chicago is forecast to be -6F (-21C). Buffalo could get up to 3 feet (1 metre) of snow.
Snow, blizzard, freezes and flood warnings and advisories stretch from Washington state to Maine and down to the Gulf of Mexico.
