Winter Storm Fern

From January 23 to January 27, 2026, a very large and expansive winter storm, unofficially referred to as Winter Storm Fern by The Weather Channel and various news outlets, or Snowmageddon in some areas, caused deadly and catastrophic ice and snow impacts across a very long stretch of land, encompassing Northern Mexico to the Southern and Northeastern United States and into Canada. The storm brought over two feet of snow to some locations in New Mexico and New England, and up to an inch of ice in the Southern United States. The ice storm part of it led to widespread power outages lasting for up to a week in some locations.
