Winter storm pounds US; firefighter killed in Michigan; NWS San Diego issues first-ever blizzard warning: Updates
A massive winter storm with heavy snow and powerful winds was slamming the Northern Plains and Midwest Thursday on its cross-country trek, killing one person in Michigan and triggering major power outages, flight cancellations and road closures.
Nearly 900,000 customers were without power in five states by Thursday evening, including over 797,000 in Michigan, according to poweroutage.us. That's down from nearly a million homes and businesses earlier in the day.
In the Northeast, a mix of sleet and freezing rain was falling east of Syracuse, New York, to Boston earlier Thursday, Accuweather reported. The East Coast can expect the storm to make its way in that direction later in the week.

The storm is one of a series that have been pounding the country in the past week.
More than 24 million people across more than two dozen states were under blizzard, winter storm, wind chill and freeze warnings Thursday, according to the National Weather Service. Another 49 million people faced winter weather, wind chill and frost advisories.
The northern U.S. has been hit hard this week. Schools and offices were shut down, as well as the Minnesota Legislature. About 90 churches in western Michigan canceled Ash Wednesday services, according to WZZM-TV.
Meanwhile, National Weather Service meteorologist Richard Bann said some mid-Atlantic and Southeastern cities set new high temperature marks by several degrees.
