A snow and ice storm will spread from Tennessee to Maine and will continue to create dangerous travel conditions on Presidents Day.
Snow and ice will accumulate in Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and New York City before changing over to rain, AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Krissy Pydynowski said.
"Several inches of snow will make for slow and slippery travel and disruptions from the Appalachians to portions of western and northern New York," she said.
The same storm system is also producing severe weather in the Deep South and has spawned several tornadoes in Mississippi and Alabama.
