A large portion of the country is bracing for what the National Weather Service (NWS) has described as a major “coast to coast” winter storm, which could bring “historic snowfall” to the Minneapolis, Minnesota, region.
According to the NWS, the winter storm is expected to be “extremely disruptive” to travel.
“For portions of the High Plains to the Midwest, the combination of heavy snow rates of 1-2”/hr and strong wind gusts of 40-50 mph will create blizzard conditions,” it said, warning of “nearly impossible travel” as well as power outages.

…Widespread record-breaking highs possible in the East and much below average cold in the West beginning mid-week.the historic storm will be composed of “two rounds of snow totaling 1 to 2 feet of snow,” beginning Tuesday afternoon. It adds that this could break records held for well over 100 years: Speaking historically, this event could very well break top five snowfalls in the Twin Cities dating back to 1884. The top event, a memorable one that seems to come up every year, was the Halloweenof 1991 with 28.4 inches of snow. Number two was a storm over Thanksgiving weekend in 1985 that amounted to 21.1 inches. Numbers three and four were in January of 1982, with totals of 20 and 17.4 inches respectively.
