Some progress today, but still ~250K customers without power in the most impacted ice storm areas, and the next Arctic front will be moving in on Friday. Also, the latest from WPC on the major winter storm centered on the Carolinas this weekend: blizzard conditions in spots and major coastal floods.

This is a public health problem that will haunt people for decades.
