More than 85 million people from the Rockies to New England are under weather alerts. Some spots could get the most snow in a century.
As the second winter storm in less than a week sets up across the country, 21 states are gearing up for a blast of winter precipitation and dangerously cold temperatures.
More than 85 million people are currently under winter weather alerts stretching from the Rockies to New England -- over 2,000 miles.The biggest impact will be in the South, where a crippling ice storm is likely. Places including Dallas and Memphis, Tennessee, could see icy roads and power outages amid dangerously cold temperatures.Parts of the Midwest could see over a foot of snow; potentially the biggest snow in a century for some.
— NWS Chicago February 1, 2022 Chicago's weather service office also indicated that snowfall rates could be up to an inch per hour at times, which will reduce visibility. Then round two will pass through the same region on Thursday, bringing up to an additional 6 inches of snow for some areas.And if snow totals stack up the way models are suggesting, this will be a historic snowstorm.The snow forecast for Fort Wayne, Indiana, is 18 inches.
— NWS Fort Worth February 1, 2022 While the highest ice totals will be north of the Dallas metroplex, the metroplex could see up to a quarter-inch of ice as well, leading to major disruptions in travel. The wintry mix will eventually turn to all snow for the area on Thursday, which will all fall on a layer of ice -- meaning the snow could 'stick' for several days. The reason for this will be the duration of freezing temperatures.
— NWS Weather Prediction Center February 1, 2022 For much of Tennessee and Kentucky, ice could be a big player with this system, crippling cities and disrupting travel.The weather service office in Memphis said it is"very concerned with the icing issues" that this system could bring."Looks very messy for the mid-South with several hours of freezing rain and sleet across the area. Some of the totals are downright nasty," the weather service said.
