Power Outages, Travel Warnings Mark Weekend of Intense Weather

Roughly 400,000 homes were without power in the U.S. on Saturday as heavy snow and ice caused major disruptions on both coasts, ahead of a creeping front of Arctic cold that threatens to bring record-low temperatures to much of the country.

Parts of the upper Midwest, particularly around the Great Lakes region, got a second day of pelting snow and blizzard-like conditions, while areas in New England and the East Coast dealt with rain and scattered flash flooding, the National Weather Service said.
