Photos: See the impact a major winter storm is having on U.S.
A powerful winter storm is lumbering across parts of the central and eastern U.S.
Winter storm warnings are in effect from Illinois to New Jersey. And some areas will get a lot of snow. They will also get freezing rain and ice, blustery winds and frigid temperatures.
There are power outages reported. Nearly a quarter of a million customers don’t have power in Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia.
Here’s what we saw.
