A major winter storm — named Winter Storm Fern — is forecast to sweep across much of the country this weekend, bringing a dangerous mix of heavy snow, ice and frigid temperatures from the South and Midwest into the Northeast.

Winter weather risks such as ice-covered roads and heavy snow also increase the chances of getting into an accident or needing to call for roadside assistance.
