Winter Storm Cato is moving up the Eastern U.S., dumping a wintry mix of snow and rain as it pushes into highly populated areas of the Eastern Seaboard. Tens of thousands are without power, and countless accidents have slowed travel for drivers on the day before Thanksgiving.
Over a foot of snow has already fallen in parts of the Mid-Atlantic region, and Cato could dump more than a foot in parts of New England later today. All that wintry precipitation is making for slick, treacherous roads for the estimated 41.3 million people traveling via vehicle today.
As for air travel, there were already more than 1,200 cancellations and 450 delays at airports across the U.S.as of 11 a.m. Wednesday, according to FlightAware. Those numbers will likely continue to jump as Cato moves into high air traffic areas like New York and Boston.
