More than 12 percent of homes in Michigan alone were without power as of Thursday morning, as a coast-to-coast winter storm brings blizzards and ice.

Meanwhile, thousands of flights have been canceled, many traveling either to or from Minnesota, Michigan and Illinois, where the National Weather Service had predicted freezing wind chills and blizzards.

A man goes for a walk in front of the Minneapolis skyline at Bde Maka Ska Park during a snowstorm in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on February 22, 2023 and frozen power lines are seen toppled over on February 01, 2023 in Austin, Texas. Ice on power lines adds significant weight, making outages more likely.

Data from tracking service FlightAware shows there were nearly 2,800 flight cancellations in and out of the U.S. on Wednesday, and more than 6,500 delays across the country. Around 430 of those were due to depart or arrive at Minneapolis St. Paul airport in Minnesota, 150 via Detroit airport in Michigan and 290 in and out of Denver airport in Colorado.
