A trio of winter storms is set to batter the U.S. this week, with the second system poised to unleash heavy snow and hazardous conditions from the Rockies to the Northeast. Over two dozen states, stretching from Colorado to Maine, could see accumulating snow and ice from late Tuesday through Thursday, disrupting travel plans and daily life.
The storm's first wave will target the Rockies and Plains, creating slick roads and reduced visibility. By midweek, it shifts east, bringing potential school closures and flight delays to major Midwest and Northeast hubs like Chicago and Boston. Meteorologists warn of snowfall rates up to 2 inches per hour in hardest-hit areas.
Travelers and commuters are advised to monitor updates from local authorities, as the storm coincides with a surge in holiday-season movement. The system follows last week's record-breaking freeze in Texas, underscoring 2023's volatile winter patterns linked to shifting climate conditions.
Digital nomads and remote workers in affected regions should prepare for power outages, while adventure travelers eyeing ski resorts could benefit from fresh powder—if road access holds. Local officials urge residents to limit nonessential trips as crews work to mitigate impacts.
