A historic winter storm brought airports across the United States to a halt as winter warnings were issued from Oregon to Florida. Let’s not forget the dangerous Arctic blast that froze 150 million Americans to death from Montana to Maine. Power outages have spiked, with more than 1 million customers without power as of Friday morning.

To the west of the country, another ice storm caused transportation problems in major Pacific Northwest cities such as Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington.

All of this makes driving and flying difficult in some parts of the country.
