Winter storms bring heavy snow, freezing rain, and ice to large parts of the US, impacting millions. Travel disruptions, power outages, and school closures are reported across the affected regions. The National Weather Service warns of potential flooding and severe weather along the Gulf Coast.
Over 90 million Americans were warned to prepare for adverse winter weather on Wednesday as several winter storms swept across the U.S. Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories were in effect from California to Maine, and many locations in between. Additionally, parts of Northwest Ohio and the mountains of West Virginia were under ice storm warnings.
\A winter storm was anticipated to drop approximately 3-6 inches of snow from Kansas into Michigan, affecting areas such as Kansas City, Des Moines, Chicago, and Milwaukee. This winter storm was attributed to an arctic cold front bringing below-average temperatures to the region on Wednesday. \Meanwhile, significant icing was possible in the Central Appalachians and Blue Ridge Mountains. Up to a quarter inch of ice could accumulate in the region by Thursday morning, potentially causing substantial travel difficulties along Interstates 64, 77, and 79. The storm brought heavy snow and freezing rain across the U.S. East. On Tuesday, parts of West Virginia experienced over 14 inches of snow. On Wednesday, power outages affected 190,000 customers in Virginia and nearly 16,000 in North Carolina. Schools in Virginia, Baltimore, and the Washington D.C. area canceled classes, and nearly 7,000 flights across the U.S. were delayed or canceled due to the weather. The National Weather Service stated that flooding was a risk for parts of Tennessee and Virginia through Thursday morning as temperatures rose. Severe weather, including a small chance of tornadoes, was also possible along the Gulf Coast in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama
