Airlines had canceled or delayed roughly 16,000 flights by Thursday night as nearly 100 million Americans braced for what forecasters described as a "once in a generation" storm, which hit the middle of the country and began dumping snow across the middle of the United States.
Roughly two-thirds of the population is now under a winter weather warning or advisory, and "nearly a million customers are without power across the South, Midwest and the East Coast," The New York Times reports Friday morning.
