The heavy snowfall and icy conditions are expected to create hazardous travel conditions, particularly in higher elevations and mountain passes such as Isabel Pass in Alaska and Monarch and Wolf Creek passes in Colorado. In the Northeast, the storm has already caused widespread flooding, power outages, and at least one fatality. Over 21,000 customers in New York were left without electricity at one point. Coastal areas from North Carolina to New England have experienced rough surf, gusty winds, and hazardous rip currents, further compounding the risks.
