NBC News - A massive winter storm is set to wallop a 2,000-mile stretch from the southern Plains to the Northeast, and could cause power outages for millions of Americans. The storm is expected to hit Texas and Oklahoma before heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain rapidly stretch across the South through the weekend. By Sunday, heavy snow is expected in the Mid-Atlantic, with an ice storm continuing in North Georgia and the Carolinas.
Wind chills of 40 to 50 below zero are possible in the Upper Midwest and the Great Lakes region, whereas in Texas and other Gulf Coast states, temperatures could be in the single digits to 10 below zero.
More than 50 record lows are possible from Sunday to Tuesday, with Texas and Southern states most at risk. Gov. Greg Abbott said yesterday that he has already activated state emergency response resources.
