Winter storms threaten snow, extreme cold and travel warnings across the U.S.

Heavy snow, freezing rain and temperatures as much as 35 degrees below seasonal averages are set to hit large parts of the continental United States as a string of storms confirm that winter is far from over.

Heavy snow, freezing rain and temperatures as much as 35 degrees below seasonal averages are set to hit large parts of the continental United States as a string of storms confirm that winter is far from over.

Some 32 million people were under winter weather alerts overnight, with heavy snow due for northern Kentucky into West Virginia, the Washington metro area and Maryland, as well as parts of the Ohio Valley and across the mid-Atlantic.

The winter storm due to hit Tuesday is forecast to bring between 4 and 8 inches of snow, likely falling at 1 inch per hour, from northeast Kentucky to Virginia and the Interstate 95 corridor — making Tuesday evening's commute particularly dangerous for many.

As much as 10 inches of snow is possible in parts of Kansas, with large amounts expected along and north of I-70.

The same storm is set to dump heavy rain across the South and the Southeast, which could cause localized flooding.
