Potentially catastrophic winter storm threatens over 30 states, prompts Winter Storm Watches for millions

More than 175 million people are in the path of a potentially historic winter storm that’s expected to extend over 2,000 miles and deliver crippling snow and ice across more than 30 states, all told beginning Friday.

A wide swath of winter weather will slam the country through the weekend, moving from the Southwest through Texas and Oklahoma, across the South and Tennessee Valley, before eventually reaching the Mid-Atlantic coast.

Behind the storm itself, Arctic temperatures could freeze snow and ice, potentially creating long-duration power outages and paralyzing travel for days.
