The winter storm system brewing along an incoming Arctic front could create treacherous holiday travel conditions as federal forecasters expect the blizzard to slam much of the Midwest and Great Lakes through Christmas Eve.
Winter storm warnings, wind chill warnings and winter weather advisories were in effect across parts of the Midwest and Pacific Northwest – where up to 24 inches of additional snow was anticipated in Washington.

That’s insane!
Winter storms are now named? Have I missed this over the years? Or are we in some New Normal…
@Elliot Ritchey The storms are also offended by being named.
@The Grand Wazoo Of Heliopolis They did it for the simple sake of sensationalism and thus revenue. Ever watched the insipid crap on that channel? It’s a revenue minded brain drain. Better weather comes from other sources.
First time I heard of it. 🫤
