A massive winter storm swept across the central and Northeast United States on Thursday where it was delivering heavy snow and ice, making travel treacherous if not impossible, knocking out power to thousands and closing schools in several states.
Winter and ice storm warnings remained in effect for a wide swathe of the United States that reached from Texas up through the Midwest and into New England until Friday morning, the National Weather Service said.
After the storm dumped heavy snow on the Midwest on Wednesday, parts of the region could see another 6 inches of snow on Thursday. The snow will be accompanied by high winds of up to 35 miles per hour that could significantly reduce visibility. More than 50,000 homes and businesses in Texas and another 25,000 in Arkansas were without power on Thursday morning, Poweroutages.us reported.
