Winter Storm Vulcan will intensify into a powerhouse storm as it pushes across the Midwest and into the Northeast now through Thursday. It will also dump heavy snow just across the border in the most heavily populated region of Canada. Vulcan has brought some snow to the West, particularly the northern Rockies. Automated snow-measuring sensors estimated up to 16 inches of snow in the mountains of southwest Montana Monday and Monday night. The Northern Black Hills of South Dakota had seen up to 8 inches of snow as of midday Tuesday. After skipping over the Central Plains with a meager mixture of snow and rain, Vulcan will become a force to contend with east of the Mississippi River. Winter storm warnings have been issued for parts of nine U.S. states and five Canadian provinces in anticipation of heavy snow and high winds.
