Winter Storm to Deliver Heavy Snow, Ice from Plains to Mid-Atlantic

The first major winter storm of the season will impact millions

The first significant winter storm of the season for much of the country will bring a swath of heavy snow and ice to millions of people from Nebraska to the nation’s capital over the weekend into Monday.

More than six inches of snow could fall in a corridor from northern Kansas to West Virginia and could lead to dangerous road conditions in some spots. As of early Friday, winter storm warnings, watches and advisories covered hundreds of counties. The affected stretch includes southeastern Nebraska, southern Iowa, northern Missouri, south-central Illinois, south-central Indiana, southern Ohio, northern Kentucky, southwestern Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

Up to around six inches or more of snow may also fall in parts of Northern Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Delaware and southern New Jersey. Exactly how much falls in the region depends on the storm track and whether the snow mixes with sleet and freezing rain.
