A fierce storm barreling across the country toward the Mid-Atlantic States pounded a vast area with a wintry mix of sleet, snow and freezing rain that the Weather Prediction Center warned could bring “significant disruptions” to daily life and travel on Sunday and Monday.
The storm glazed roads in ice across Kansas on Saturday and then moved into Missouri. On Sunday, roadways in southern and central Illinois and Kentucky were blanketed in snow and ice.
All highways in northeastern Kansas were closed on Sunday evening, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation, causing standstill traffic in some places. The closures included state highways in 17 counties and the east- and westbound lanes of I-70 to the Kansas-Missouri line.
The Kansas City International Airport closed on Sunday and nearly all flights were canceled because of ice accumulation, a spokeswoman for the airport said. About 275 flights were canceled at St. Louis Lambert International Airport on Sunday afternoon.
Other airports, such as Indianapolis International Airport and Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky International Airport, each had more than 100 canceled flights by Sunday evening, according to FlightAware, a flight tracking site.
Early Monday, more than 60,000 customers were without power in Kentucky, according to PowerOutage.us, a tracking website. In Illinois, Indiana and Missouri, more than 30,000 customers were reported without power in each state.
