Alberta Clipper Brings Snow, Cold, and Blizzard Conditions to Midwest and Northeast

A fast-moving storm system is delivering snow, strong winds, and dangerous travel conditions, with lake-effect snow adding to the totals in the Great Lakes region.

The Alberta Clipper storm is sweeping across the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast, bringing bursts of snow, strong winds, and frigid temperatures.
Lake-effect snow is intensifying snowfall in areas downwind of the Great Lakes, with some regions expected to see up to 2 feet of additional snow by Friday.
Whiteout conditions and snow squalls are creating hazardous travel, with localized blizzard conditions reported in parts of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and New York.
Wind gusts of up to 55 mph and sub-zero wind chills are compounding the cold, with temperatures dropping 10 to 20 degrees below average in affected areas.
Forecasters are monitoring the potential development of another storm system, a Panhandle Hooker, early next week, which could bring additional winter weather depending on conditions.
