Winter Storm Freya is affecting much of the northern U.S., with hazardous conditions reported from Missouri to Maine. Areas in eastern West Virginia and Ohio are anticipated to experience severe ice accumulation, leading to potential travel hazards and power outages. The National Weather Service has issued warnings about the dangerous conditions that could make travel nearly impossible. AccuWeather forecasts that the freezing rain presents the highest risk, with many flights already delayed or canceled, and schools across several states delaying openings or closing altogether due to the severe weather.
The National Weather Service warned that 'travel could be nearly impossible' in areas facing significant icing, advising residents to prepare for power outages.
AccuWeather senior meteorologist Marshall Moss emphasized that freezing rain presents the highest danger for travel, as there is no traction on icy surfaces.
