Newsweek - Winter weather warnings are in place for 23 states this weekend, with forecasters warning that travel conditions could range from difficult to impossible. According to the National Weather Service (NWS), residents in states including Idaho, Pennsylvania and New York, among others, should exercise caution when traveling over the weekend amid icy conditions on the roads. Mixed precipitation is also expected in some states, which occurs when a combination of different types of precipitation, such as rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow, fall together or in quick succession during a weather event.
It comes amid a cold front which is sweeping across the country and has brought a string of storms.
"The cold blast will feel like January and will deliver a significant shock to hundreds of millions of people who may have gotten used to warm conditions during much of the autumn," AccuWeather's lead long-range meteorologist Paul Pastelok said.
