Powerful New Winter Storm Will Create More Headaches for Travelers
A new storm system is already creating headaches for travelers. The winter storm has created blizzard-like storms in the Midwest. USA Todayreports that the storm is expected to create icy conditions as it moves east with an ice storm warning already up for West Virginia.
Meteorologists predicted the slow-moving storm would glaze highways in the East with ice through Christmas night and that gusty thunderstorms would hamper the South. An ice storm warning was issued for parts of West Virginia and the Blue Ridge mountains in North Carolina and Virginia, while a wind chill advisory cautioned of temperatures as low as 30 below zero in Montana.
The National Weather Service warned that blizzards would hit parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin on Christmas Day and into the evening.
