More than 200 million Americans are facing a brutal winter storm this weekend, with heavy snow, freezing rain and below-zero temperatures set to hit a large part of the East Coast and Midwest.
The National Weather Service says the storm will bring “extremely dangerous” conditions, with at least 16 states under a state of emergency since it began on Friday.
Memphis, Nashville, Washington DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York are among the cities expected to be blanketed with snow.
Regions that could see more than a foot of snow stretch from Colorado to West Virginia, New York City and up to Boston, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
The NWS also says travel disruption, prolonged power cuts and widespread tree damage are likely.
