The Tennessee Valley could see some of the heaviest snowfall, with 6 inches expected on Friday. A wide swath of the country is under winter weather warnings and advisories and will see impacts including "widespread closures, treacherous travel, scattered power outages, and downed branches," the weather service said.

Freezing rain and significant icing was reported from the Plains all the way to the east coast. Up to .5” of ice was reported in areas like Louisville. This resulted in horrible driving conditions, many accidents, downed trees, downed power lines and power outages.

This is different than in February 2021 when the there was a days long winter storm across the state. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the frigid temperatures lasted days in mid-February, with highs above freezing only once between Feb. 10 and Feb. 18.
