Monster storm about to hit millions with catastrophic ice and heavy snow​


Updated 7:28 PM EST, Fri January 23, 2026

The level of impact from snow and/or ice expected along the path of the winter storm, according to the Winter Storm Severity Index from NOAA.

The level of impact from snow and/or ...

What we're covering​

Widespread threat: Two-thirds of the US population is facing down a monster winter storm and extreme cold. The storm’s snow and ice will stretch over 2,000 miles from Texas to New England as it tracks east through the weekend.

Catastrophic ice storm: Crippling ice accumulations will weigh down and drop power lines and trees in the most serious icing zones in the South. Hundreds of thousands could lose power, some for days.

Travel nightmare: Thousands of flights have already been canceled ahead of the storm. Travel will be difficult to impossible on roads across the storm’s footprint.

Record cold: More than half of all Americans will experience subzero wind chills in the next week. The extreme cold will lock snow and ice in place and leave those without power shivering for days.
 
Recent geomagnetic storms, particularly in January 2026, have caused significant damage to satellites. Starlink was the most affected due to its large number of satellites in orbit and its vulnerability from operating at lower altitudes where the storm strength is at the max.

In the sky, not orbit. No one can travel to outer space (There is no outer space). They always launch these satellites from Antarctica, these satellites run on helium gas so that they can stay high in the atmosphere
