US Snow storm 2026 LIVE: Snow and biting cold are spreading across the US, as a massive winter storm is set to test power grids across the nation this weekend.

Schools in Chicago and several other Midwestern cities called off classes, while airlines scrapped thousands of flights over the weekend, and churches shifted Sunday services online with the storm threatening to disrupt daily life.

The storm is expected to span almost 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers), bringing heavy snow, crippling ice and subzero wind chill to some of the nation’s biggest cities, mentioned a report by AP.

Forecasters warned that catastrophic damage, especially in areas pounded by ice, could rival that of a hurricane.
