Here are a few facts about the storm:
- The storm will track through the Midwest, Northeast and South through the end of the week.
- The heaviest snow will target the Great Lakes, with over a foot possible for some.
- High winds capable of tree damage and power outages could blast much of the Plains, Midwest and East.
- Severe travel impact because of snow, wind and cold is expected from through at least Friday or Saturday.
Extra Safety Precautions
Anyone traveling should slow down and stop if visibility gets too low as it’s better to arrive late and safe to your destination than not at all.
- Leave early if possible
- Give yourself extra room between other vehicles on the road
- Keep your gas tank full
