A winter storm that originally began in the south has slowly been moving towards the northeast, threatening holiday plans for many. The storm has left a wet mess in the south and is expected to leave snow and ice in the northeast from Tuesday afternoon until Wednesday night, according to CNN. From flooding in Arizona, snow in Colorado, and heavy winds in New Mexico, the storm is expected to bring something large to the northeast areas. Most of the interstates in the northeast will be covered in ice making it dangerous to drive, and airlines are beginning to reschedule flights as many holiday travelers are trying to get home to their families.

“So far, the forecast seems to be pointing toward a nuisance storm, from our perspective, one that’s not going to result in severe cancellations, but more so, delays,” said Rob Yingling, Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority spokesman.
This winter storm is one that is more severe than people realize. It has already caused so much damage in many of the southern states, and could cause the same amount as it heads north. Many major airlines are offering flight exchanges for people if they would like to leave earlier or later between the storm. Hopefully, this storm will turn out to be nothing, but it is predicted to be large.
