Hundreds of flights have been canceled at Boston's Logan International Airport as the major winter storm continues to bring an ice storm and heavy snow to New England.

At least one fatality has been associated with this storm. In Kansas, a snowplow driver was killed after his vehicle drove onto the shoulder and rolled over, the Associated Press reported.

"After the storm started as snow, sleet and freezing rain is creating difficult travel and causing power outages in southern and eastern New England," according to AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Kristina Pydynowski.

The snowstorm will be followed up by a blast of brutally cold air on Sunday night, which could be dangerous for those left without power in the wake of the storm.

"The cold can be life-threatening for those left without power and no means to heat their homes," Pydynowski said. "In areas hit hard by the snowstorm, roads cleared by accumulating snow during the storm may become blocked again due to extensive drifting snow in the storm's wake through Monday."
