Winter Storm Alert: Midwest to face snow, ice, and heavy rain this weekend

India Today  

This week brings a blast of icy Arctic air into the Eastern United States, with temperatures and a stretch of cold weather expected to drop. Experts warn millions might face dangerous winter conditions that will last well into next week. Snow and Wind Chill Risks It might snow in so many regions - including the southern Plains, Southeast, Appalachian Mountains, and Ohio Valley-but wind chills below zero in the Midwest could pose hazards to outdoor ventures. Forecasts suggest the cold wave will last longer than next week, with much of the Eastern US trapped in a deep freeze.
