Massive #snowstorm to bury areas from #OklahomaCity to #NewYorkCity, #Boston
In what is likely to be the biggest winter storms in years for such a broad area of the U.S., heavy snow is forecast from the eastern slopes of the Rockies to the coastal Northeast. Travel shutdowns are anticipated.
By Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist
Published Jan 22, 2026
"Enough snow to shovel and plow is forecast to spread from New Mexico and Colorado on Friday to Massachusetts and Maine by Sunday, impacting over 200 million people. It could be the biggest snowstorm in years with a large area having the potential to receive 6 to 12 inches of snow, with accumulations reaching 24-30 inches in the hardest-hit areas.
" 'It is rare that storms combine this much snow, ice and bitter cold over such a large area — a widespread travel-halting winter storm will stall daily life for days in large portions of the central and eastern U.S.,' AccuWeather Senior Vice President Evan Myers said."

So yeah, I don't wish the coming #Icepocalypse on anyone, but I think a lot of #RedStates are about to find out what #FAAFO means...

Um, #IceStorms predicted for #CentralUS and #SoutheastUS. Luckily, folks in #Maine only have to deal with 16 inches of snow (!!!). But still. My heart goes out to anyone who is unhoused and can't find shelter -- wherever they are. And, well, #FEMACuts and cuts to #SocialServices and #FoodBanks are NOT helping the situation!

Here's a map summary page for those of you who are in the potential path of #Winter #Storm #Fern
Winter #IceStorms aren't new to us in the north, and our infrastructure here is geared to tolerate them, but they can be far worse than massive #SnowStorms to all of us, regardless of our geographical location.
Folks die from the 'fallout' of the storm, not just the storm itself.
