A major winter storm is rolling across the United States, with snow already falling in Texas and Oklahoma and the system pushing east toward heavily populated regions. Forecasts point to a wide swath of disruptive weather — combining snow, ice, and strong winds — that could trigger travel chaos and dangerous road conditions as it moves toward the eastern U.S.
The setup is classic storm trouble: warmer southern areas seeing snow and ice they’re not built for, while the East prepares for accumulating snow and potential power outages. Airports, highways, and commuter corridors are expected to feel the strain, especially if freezing rain sets up in key mid-Atlantic zones.
Bottom line: This storm has the scale to disrupt multiple regions at once — the kind that starts as “snow in the south” and ends with the East dealing with packed roads, flight delays, and a messy, icy cleanup.
