Winter storm to bring snow and ice to states from Texas to Maine

A significant winter storm is expected to move from the Southern Plains through the Ohio Valley and into New England beginning on Wednesday. The National Weather Service warned the snow and ice could result in power outages and dangerous travel conditions for many.

Portions of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky and Tennessee are under winter storm warnings.

The NWS Weather Prediction Center said Wednesday that the storm could bring "significant ice accumulations" to Texas' Red River Valley and the Ozarks in Missouri, leading to hazardous conditions, including potential power outages and tree damage.
