A winter storm brought heavy snow and freezing temperatures to over 60 million people across the US Indiana, Ohio, and the mid-Atlantic are bracing for up to 30 centimeters of snow and icy conditions.
Indiana's first snowstorm of the year hit on Sunday, blanketing the state with heavy snow and freezing temperatures. The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning through Monday evening, predicting snow accumulations of 15 to 23 cm, along with a glaze of ice. This storm affected over 60 million people across more than a dozen states, from Kansas to New Jersey, bringing snow, ice, and freezing conditions.
Cincinnati, Ohio, was particularly hard hit, with snowfall expected to reach 18 to 25 centimeters. Other major cities, including Indianapolis, Washington, and Philadelphia, closed schools in advance due to the storm's impact. The storm is moving toward the mid-Atlantic, with Washington, D.C. bracing for heavy snow and bitter cold as the US Congress prepares to certify Donald Trump's election as president on Monday.
Blizzard conditions were reported in Kansas and northwestern Missouri, where roads were covered in snow and ice, prompting warnings to avoid travel. Freezing rain in parts of Kentucky and West Virginia created hazardous ice accumulations. As the storm moves out, Arctic air will follow, with temperatures -12 to -6 degrees Celsius, below average across much of the East Coast and Great Plains. Several states, including Kansas and Kentucky, have declared states of emergency.
