"Winter Storm Ravages U.S. with Deadly Conditions and Extreme Weather"

Winter storm warnings are in place for 17 states as dangerously cold temperatures and heavy snow are expected across much of the U.S., with hard freeze warnings in southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana. The National Weather Service predicts brutally cold temperatures to persist through Tuesday, followed by another Arctic blast later in the week. A mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is expected to move across the south and into the mid-Atlantic, with significant snow and ice accumulations anticipated in several states. The cold snap has raised concerns about Texas's power grid, and heavy lake-effect snow is expected downwind of the Great Lakes.
