Fierce winter storm blows across the US, threatening blizzard conditions

Bundle up and hunker down, y'all. ❄️ A brutal winter storm packing wind gusts of up to 80 mph was marching toward the nation's interior Monday, threatening to pound a swath of the nation with snow measured in feet. Almost 15 million people in more than a dozen states faced blizzard or winter storm warnings or watches. "This system will then stall across the central Plains into Thursday, producing several days of heavy snow and blowing snow, including blizzard conditions, and freezing rain extending into the Upper Midwest," the National Weather Service said. Severe thunderstorms, tornadoes, and flooding will be possible in the South.
