United States — Multiple regions experienced winter storm conditions this week as meteorologists warned of snow, wind, and rapid temperature changes. Authorities closed schools and county offices Monday and Tuesday in affected areas; forecasts predicted accumulations ranging from dustings to 4–7 inches in northern zones. Officials and broadcasters advised limited travel as gusts up to 60 mph and subfreezing lows moved through the Plains, Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and New England. Forecasters said systems would transition between rain, sleet, and snow through Wednesday with colder air arriving late week. Travelers should monitor forecasts and warnings.
