The storm should move into the Atlantic Ocean by late Monday, but a new blast of Arctic air will bring frigid cold to the eastern two-thirds of the US by the middle of next week.

ATLANTA: Millions of Americans from the Plains to the East Coast faced the threat of blizzards, heavy snow, treacherous ice and freezing rain through to Monday, the national weather service (NWS) said on Saturday.

Governors in Kentucky and Virginia declared states of emergency ahead of the winter storm.

“The storm is still taking shape,” meteorologist Rich Bann of the NWS’s weather prediction centre said on Saturday evening. “But, this thing has multiple hazards from heavy snows in the Plains to significant icing covering roads farther south.”
