there may be another storm coming later this week. so we've got more on that in just a minute. while the weather is piling on an already stressed industry dealing with pandemic staff shortages, some airlines are now offering double and even triple pay for staff who are willing to pick up additional flights. cbs' errol barnett is here with the latest on all this. good evening, errol. >> reporter: good evening, norah. this winter storm has been consequential. it dumped the highest amount of snow in this part of the country in more than three years. it grounded aircraft across the country. and for many, it made the first monday of the new year far from painless. and for too many folks, that pain is far from over. this winter storm started the year with a vengeance. >> it's snowing. >> reporter: snow falling as far south as florida. as much as 10 inches blanketed much of the midatlantic, cutting power to more than 420,000 virginia customers after putting pressure on tree limbs over
