During the night of Jan. 23-24, 2026, a superstorm passed through more than 20 states. It brought heavy snow, ice, and freezing rain. The South, Plains, Midwest, and Northeast geographical locations of the United States were affected.
Approximately 24,000 flights were canceled. More than 60 lives were lost because of the storm. A large number of accidents happened on the roads. North Carolina had 400 accidents, and Tennessee had about 160 crashes. Oklahoma counts hundreds of collisions total, which include injury and non-injury cases.
On the other hand, snow brought beauty and fun activities, such as sledding, skiing, and snowman buildings. This is a photo reporting how the storm was observed by a rural resident living on Keystone Lake peninsula in Oklahoma.
