A major ice storm is hitting the Midwest and Northeast today, bringing sleet, freezing rain, and strong winds from Minnesota to Maine.
Ice accumulations up to half an inch could make roads dangerous and cause power outages, with snow and gusts up to 50 mph expected as the storm moves east into the mid-Atlantic and Northeast by Thursday.
Meanwhile, an atmospheric river is slamming California, dumping heavy rain and triggering flash flood warnings in the San Francisco Bay Area before moving into Southern California overnight.
In the mountains from California to Montana, another 2 to 5 feet of snow is possible, prompting avalanche alerts. See the conditions in a video report.
