Satellite images from NASA/NOAA satellites provided by Maxar show how the massive winter storm has blanketed the United States with ice and snow.
On Tuesday, 73% of the country was coated in snow, according to the Weather Channel. And the cold weather continued on Wednesday as CNN reported that frigid weather struck the south and central parts of the country that have been most impacted by brutally cold conditions.
As of Thursday, Maxar's WeatherDesk provided imagery showing three-quarters of the country covered in snow:
Residents across the country, especially in the South, have endured freezing weather and power outages. As of Wednesday afternoon, nearly 3 million people in Texas are still without power, according to PowerOutage.us. Oregon, Kentucky, Louisiana, and West Virginia are other states highly affected by the outages.
