Winter Storm Cato: More Than 400,000 Without Power in Northeast, New England on Thanksgiving Morning

Winter Storm Cato made its way through the Eastern U.S., dumping a wintry mix of snow and rain as it rushed up the Eastern Seaboard. At least 400,000 customers were without power Thanksgiving morning, and countless accidents slowed travel for drivers the day before the holiday.
Over a foot of snow fell in parts of the mid-Atlantic region, and Cato dumped high snow totals in parts of New England as well. All that wintry precipitation made for slick, treacherous roads for the estimated 41.3 million people traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday, according to AAA estimates.
