A winter storm is set to bring heavy snow and dangerously cold temperatures to parts of the Atlantic Coast and central/eastern U.S. The storm is expected to dump 6 to 12 inches of snow on Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, and Delaware, leading to closed roadways and flight delays on Wednesday. Schools have been closed in several states due to snow and ice, and areas previously affected by deadly rainstorms in Kentucky and West Virginia are now bracing for more severe weather. Governors in North Carolina and Virginia have declared states of emergency, with warnings to stay off the roads and find shelter for those without power as temperatures drop below freezing. Additionally, Arctic air is moving in across the region, triggering extreme cold warnings from Montana to Texas and Alabama. This storm is the latest in a series of winter storms hitting the U.S., causing disruptions in travel and recovery efforts.
