As much of the United States prepares for a winter storm that is forecast to dump well above 12 inches of snow in some places this weekend, many are wondering: How much snow are we actually getting?
The slow-moving system will bring freezing rain, snow and rain starting Friday to the Southern Plains, then move into the Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys on Saturday before reaching the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic on Sunday into Monday, according to forecasters.
The National Weather Service has issued winter storm watches and warnings spanning more than 2,000 miles, and more than a dozen states have declared states of emergency.
