A series of winter storms is set to hit large parts of the United States, bringing heavy snow, freezing rain, and temperatures as much as 35 degrees below seasonal averages. 32 million people are under winter weather alerts, with heavy snow expected in areas such as Kentucky, West Virginia, the Washington metro area, and Maryland. The winter storm due on Tuesday could bring between 4 and 8 inches of snow, making the evening commute dangerous for many. Up to 10 inches of snow is possible in Kansas, with heavy rain expected in the South and Southeast. Freezing rain could lead to ice accumulation in the Appalachians, causing hazards for commuters and power outages. An Arctic blast of cold air will bring temperatures far below average across several states, with North Dakota potentially seeing temperatures as low as -55 degrees Fahrenheit with wind chill. Another winter storm is expected on Wednesday, bringing more snow to the Midwest and Great Lakes, as well as rain and ice to the Mid-Atlantic. Further storms are forecast for the Northeast this weekend. Additionally, Utah is facing a high risk of avalanches, with four fatalities already reported this year. The West Coast is not spared from the cold snap, with California expecting rain and snow in higher areas from a storm arriving late Wednesday.
