Millions brace for snow as storm bears down on eastern US
Drivers were warned of “hazardous road conditions” and major travel headaches
Millions of Americans were braced for heavy snow and freezing rain Sunday as a major winter storm closed in on the eastern United States, knocking power out to an estimated 200,000 people and counting.
The “strong storm over the Southeast/Southern Appalachians will move northeastward inland from the coast to Southeastern Canada by Tuesday,” the National Weather Service said on its website.
“The system will produce rain, thunderstorms, snow, and rain/freezing rain from the Lower Mississippi Valley to the Southeast/southern Mid-Atlantic, Sunday,” with more damage predicted for Monday, it continued.
Drivers were warned of “hazardous road conditions” and major travel headaches from Arkansas all the way up to the northeastern state of Maine.
More than 80 million people fell under the winter weather alerts, US media reported.
