Millions should prepare for disrupted travel and winter conditions as a fierce storm is set to bring ice, snow and freezing rain to much of the U.S. The first winter storm of 2025 is expected to accumulate five to ten inches across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia.

A blast of snow, ice, wind and plunging temperatures stirred up dangerous travel conditions in parts of the central U.S. on Sunday, as a disruptive winter storm brought the possibility of the “heaviest snowfall in a decade” to some areas.

The heaviest snowfall in a decade is on its way to Kansas and Missouri, part of a major winter storm stretching 1,300 miles across the central United States that is set to impact up to 62 million, forecasters say.
