Cross-Country Snowstorm to Whip Rockies, Drop Rare Early Snow in Central Plains

http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/snowstorm-to-turn-crosscountry/37306172



A January-like storm hitting the Northwest late this week will aim at part of the Rockies and Central states this weekend and may result in disruptions to travel and daily activities.
Snow from the storm will impact cities from Denver to Chicago and Detroit this weekend. Enough snow could fall at area airports to cause deicing delays at the very least.
The expanse of the arctic air will continue to bring much lower temperatures when compared to average, and it will also bring precipitation more common during December and January, as opposed to November.

The storm over the Central states will not be as potent as that of the Rockies or the Northwest. However, due to low temperatures ahead of the storm and another dose of cold air following the snow and wintry mix, roads and sidewalks that are still wet and slushy this weekend may freeze from the Plains to the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes.
