An active weather pattern is shaping up in the Midwest and Northeast, where two rounds of snow and ice are expected through this weekend. This wintry pattern could then persist into next week.

A widespread and impactful storm taking shape across the Midwest and Northeast will spread snow, freezing rain and sleet across several states through Thursday. Roadway and air travel can be severely impacted from the Midwest to the mid-Atlantic and New England coastlines as this storm trudges eastward.
