Two major winter storms are expected to dump heavy snow from coast to coast and have already led to the cancellation of more than 800 flights scheduled for Wednesday during the busy Presidents Week holiday.
The first system will bring snow and fierce winds to the Midwest and New England on Tuesday and into the next couple of days.
The other was expected to bring more than a foot of snow and wind gusts of more than 40 miles an hour to a swath stretching from California through Nevada and into Colorado from Tuesday through Thursday afternoon, the National Weather Service (NWS) warned.
Hazardous travel conditions due to icy and snow-packed roadways were expected throughout the area, the NWS said. According to Flightaware, over 800 flights in the US have already been canceled on Wednesday.
