Winter weather alerts were issued for 100 million people in 22 states due to a series of winter storms bringing snow, sleet, and freezing rain. The storm is expected to cause power outages and difficult travel conditions during the commute in the northern and eastern states. The National Weather Service warned of up to half an inch of ice in certain areas, which could lead to power outages and tree damage. In New England, up to 5 feet of snow is expected.
The icy conditions have already caused flight cancellations and delays, with more severe weather expected to be replaced by high winds as a new weather system moves in. The West Coast is also experiencing heavy rain and snow, with several feet expected in the Sierra Nevada and northern California.
While the north and east freeze, the southern states are experiencing record-high temperatures, with some areas reaching the 70s and 80s. The severe weather is expected to end by Thursday evening, but the southern states will continue to experience warm temperatures.
Overall, the severe winter weather is causing disruptions in travel, power outages, and hazardous conditions, while the southern states are experiencing unseasonably warm temperatures.
