Winter Storm Advisories Affect 16 Million Americans with Up to Foot of Snow

A significant winter storm originating from Canada is forecasted to bring up to a foot of snow across regions from Michigan to central New England, impacting over 16 million Americans with winter storm advisories. The storm, currently dropping light snow in the Midwest, is expected to intensify as it moves eastward, affecting the Central Plains, Midwest, and Northeast primarily between late Monday and Tuesday. While some areas near the Atlantic Coast may receive rain and freezing rain instead of snow, travel disruptions due to worsening road conditions are anticipated, including icy roads and reduced visibility that have already caused major accidents such as a 50-vehicle pile-up in Indiana. This early-season storm follows a recent major snow event that impacted traffic across the upper Midwest and highlights ongoing challenges for transportation and insurance risk management due to severe winter weather conditions.
