Nearly 70 million people will face harsh winter conditions as snow, ice and strong winds are expected to slam the middle of the country throughout the weekend and the start of the week.
A low-pressure storm is expected to move across the country from the Central Plains to the Northeast with “widespread heavy snow and damaging ice accumulations,” according to the National Weather Service. Much of the Central Plains and Ohio River Valley are already seeing snow, as the East Coast braces for the storm to arrive early Monday.
