A significant winter storm is poised to strike nine U.S. states, commencing on Tuesday and extending into Wednesday for some areas. The National Weather Service has issued warnings for heavy snow, potentially reaching two feet in certain locations, accompanied by strong winds and sub-freezing temperatures. Travel conditions are predicted to be "very difficult to impossible" across the affected regions.
The storm is expected to significantly impact parts of California, Alaska, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, and New Jersey. Specific areas in California's Sierra Nevada mountains could see up to 2 feet of snow and winds gusting to 75 mph. In Alaska, coastal areas and interior regions will experience snow and high winds, leading to reduced visibility and icy roads.
Several states will grapple with plunging temperatures. Parts of Pennsylvania could see readings between 25-30 degrees Fahrenheit, with some counties dropping into the upper teens. Ohio, West Virginia, Maryland, and Virginia are bracing for temperatures around 28-29 degrees Fahrenheit. Kentucky anticipates lows of approximately 28 degrees Fahrenheit, while New Jersey could experience temperatures as low as 20-24 degrees Fahrenheit, with Sussex County facing the coldest conditions.
