This is winter storm Elliot. This was recorded 12/23/2022 in Colebrook New Hampshire. Power outages hit 1.1m and flights cancelled in path of deadly subzero weather.
At least five people have been killed, more than 1.1 million customers are without power and thousands of flights cancelled or delayed as a historic polar vortex swept the United States this holiday season.

“Once-in-a-generation” Winter Storm Elliott is causing disruptions across the map with 60 percent of Americans under winter weather warnings or advisories on Friday.
Blizzards, whiteouts, icy rain and freezing, powerful winds stretched from the Canadian border south to the Rio Grande, Gulf Coast and central Florida, and from the Pacific Northwest to the Eastern Seaboard. Wind chill is driving temperatures to minus 40 degrees in some parts of western states.

An estimated 10,000 flights have been delayed or canceled on Friday. Airports in the major transit hubs of New York, Chicago and Denver were reporting major cancellations.

President Joe Biden warned everyone to take the storm seriously. “This is not like a snow day when you were a kid. This is serious stuff,” he said.
