Massive winter storm sweeps across US bringing ice, frigid temps

The winter storm that hit the United States on Saturday dumped snow and freezing rain on New Mexico and Texas, threatening tens of millions of Americans with blackouts, transportation chaos, and bone-chilling cold. Shoppers stripped supermarket shelves as the National Weather Service (NWS) forecast huge snowfall in some areas and possibly catastrophic ice accumulations.

The storm is expected to cause power outages for millions of Americans over the next few days.

The freezing rain and snow have shut down schools, businesses, and government offices. The NWS said the system could produce up to 2 feet (60 centimeters) of snow in some places and possibly catastrophic ice accumulations.

The storm is expected to move northeastward across the United States, affecting millions more Americans over the next few days.

Enjoy the little things in life. For one day, you may look back and realize they were the big things. Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
