DANGEROUS wintry conditions have descended on a large swath of the central United States as a severe storm system tracked eastward, prompting travel and work disruptions from Kansas City to Washington.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), around a dozen states from Kansas to New Jersey were under winter storm warnings Sunday afternoon, while areas across the US South faced possible tornado and cold weather threats.
Nationwide, over 60 million people were under some sort of weather alert, while air traffic monitoring site Flight Aware showed almost 2,200 flight cancellations and over 25,000 delays.
Gusty winds from the storm system, the first of the year, brought blizzard conditions to Kansas and Missouri, while states farther east were blanketed in multiple inches of snow.
