A weekend winter storm will bring biting temperatures and dump several inches of snow on areas from the Midwest to Northeast. Forty-two million people are under winter alerts ahead of the storm that will move from west to east, with snow totals accumulating from Minneapolis to Massachusetts.

Snow will fall from Minnesota to Maine, with heavy amounts probably falling from Wisconsin to Massachusetts. Freezing rain and sleet will also be a big issue, especially south of Interstate 80 from Ohio through New Jersey.

Snow, rain and icy conditions will spread across the Midwest and Northeast thanks to a storm that drenched northern California.

Thursday’s sloppy morning precipitation has come and gone, but a Winter Storm Watch is already in place for our next round of wintry weather on the way this weekend. For snow lovers, this could be a good one!
