Deadly Winter Storm Moves East, Knocking Out Power to 200,000 – The New York Times

The storm also caused power failures, with more than 45,000 customers in Missouri and more than 24,000 in Kansas reported without power, according to the tracking site PowerOutage.us. In Virginia, more than 33,000 customers had lost power. As of early Sunday afternoon, more than 100,000 customers were without power in North Carolina.

The storm created wintry conditions that led to the deaths of at least nine people, including a state trooper in Illinois, according to the authorities. Missouri got up to 17 inches of snow in the central part of the state, according to the National Weather Service.

Meteorologists expect the storm to die down by early Monday morning, but not before leaving two to four inches of snow in parts of Atlantic City.

“Most places have seen the worst of it,” Mr. Pydynowski said. “By the time most people are waking up on Monday morning, it will be done.”
