Major Storm to Drop Snow Ice in Midwest this Weekend, Power Outages Predicted, Up to 6 ft Snow in Oregon Cascades

An extensive swath of the central and northern United States will be at risk for a significant snow and ice event as a springlike storm evolves by the weekend.

The storm will be more typical of March as it will feature record-challenging warmth, flooding rainfall and severe thunderstorms on its southeastern side and an array of wintry precipitation to the north and west.

Enough heavy snow and ice can accumulate during the event to raise the risk of power outages and broken tree limbs, forecasters say.
