"Some 180 million Americans are bracing for impact as the threat of a severe winter storm looms across large swaths of the country from Texas to Massachusetts. As the weekend draws near, the final path of the storm remains uncertain as some models are predicting anywhere from minimal precipitation to close to a foot of snow in New York City."
"On Wednesday, the National Weather Service warned the storm system will bring heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain from the Rockies and the Great Plains beginning on Friday, moving towards the East Coast and potentially up through New England on Monday. The agency advised that the impacts of ice and snow will be prolonged due to plummeting temperatures from yet another arctic cold front."
"The NWS's office in Washington, D.C. placed the region under a "high winter storm threat" starting Saturday afternoon into Sunday evening, warning residents of major delays, closures, and "threats to life and property from heavy snow" with the possibility of as much as eight inches in certain areas. "Now is the time to plan to minimize impact on you and your family," one warning said."
