"Record Snowfall and Arctic Cold Hit New York City"

An Arctic blast has brought snow, freezing rain, and record-breaking cold to much of the United States, ending a nearly two-year "snow drought" in New York City and putting the West into a deep freeze. Record-breaking cold temperatures are expected across the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains, and Midwest, with significant snowfall in various regions. The extreme weather has resulted in deaths, power outages, and flight disruptions, prompting calls for electricity conservation in Texas.
