Midwest and Northeast brace for heavy snowstorm

A winter storm is expected to bring a white Thanksgiving to parts of the Midwest and Northeast, with heavy snowfall projected for New England, New York, Vermont, and areas in the upper Midwest and Northeast including Detroit, Pittsburgh, and Buffalo. The storm has caused delays and dangerous conditions on major highways, with some areas potentially experiencing blizzard-like conditions and wind chills as low as negative 40 degrees. The cold front could impact around 196 million people, with temperatures falling below freezing in many areas. The storm also brought heavy rainfall to New York, with some areas receiving as much as 5 inches of rain. The cold temperatures are expected to persist into early next week, with below-normal temperatures in the Mid-Atlantic possibly lasting until December 9th. The snowfall has closed roads in Colorado and California but is good news for ski resorts in western New York, with Holiday Valley Ski Resort expected to open next Wednesday. Overall, the storm is causing travel disruptions and potentially hazardous conditions for residents in the affected areas.
