Drone footage from Texas to New England captured the widespread whiteout conditions left by the weekend’s major winter storm that dropped more than a foot of snow in some areas.
As of morning hours on Monday, Jan. 26, the brunt of the storm has passed in many parts of the country, while other areas are bracing for more rounds of snow.
According to the National Weather Service, moderate to heavy snow will continue to fall across the Northeast from Upstate New York to southern Maine throughout Monday morning. Snow has ended elsewhere other than some mixed precipitation across the Carolinas and Georgia, the agency said.
Bitter cold and icy conditions are also expected to linger over the coming days, likely resulting in extended power outages and travel delays around the country.

Much of the nation east of the Rocky Mountains is hunkered down for what could be the worst winter storm of the season, followed by some of the coldest temperatures seen in years. The storm began out of Texas and Oklahoma Friday evening, hitting the region with heavy sleet and snow. Forecasters have warned of “catastrophic” ice accumulation. On Saturday, the system is expected to push towards Virginia, dumping a foot of snow or more on parts of the Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic, while New England sees double-digit subzero temperatures.

Overhead images captured by drones across states like Texas, Kentucky and New York showed sledders and ice fishers braving the temperatures to revel in the whiteout conditions.
Videos over Texas highway showed few motorists on the roads in the aftermath of the snow, while freezing temperatures caused cracked trees in Tennessee.
Homes across Kentucky were blanketed in white, and on Lake Erie in New York, campers took advantage of the frozen waters.
