Millions of Americans are bracing for a huge winter storm that could bring the heaviest snowfall and coldest temperatures in over a decade.
The National Weather Service told uncovered news reporters that “The storm, which started in the middle of the US, will move east in the next couple of days.”
A state of emergency has been declared in the states of Kentucky and Virginia, and parts of the US unaccustomed to severe cold, including Mississippi and Florida, have been warned to expect treacherous conditions.

Forecasters say the extreme weather is being caused by the polar vortex, an area of cold air that circulates around the Arctic.
“For some, this could be the heaviest snowfall in over a decade,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said. Additionally, AccuWeather forecaster Dan DePodwin said, “This could lead to the coldest January for the US since 2011.”
In the central US, there will be “considerable disruptions to daily life” and “dangerous or impossible driving conditions and widespread closures” into Sunday, according to the NWS.
He added that “temperatures that are well below historical average” could linger for a week.
In conclusion, those low temperatures will be on the east coast as well, where the storm is expected to reach by Sunday evening.
