Saturday is going to be the worst in the central part of the U.S.

over into the Ohio Valley.

Looks like a pretty decent snowstorm up in the Ohio Valley, too.

Nashville, you're on the wrong side of the storm.

You're going to get more ice than snow.

I know a few days ago it looked like we could have ended up with a snowstorm in Nashville, but that's not going to happen.

And then the northeast gets the big snow.

This is going to be the biggest snow that we've seen in the northeast for quite a while.

But these ice totals that we're forecasting here.

Really a big problem.

Shreveport could see up to three quarters of an inch, some spots around Memphis, maybe even up to an inch of ice.

That's devastating.

That's going to put the power out for quite a while.

A foot to a foot and a half of snow along the I-95 corridor, but it's the part of the storm to the south of there, this ice, that's going to be the huge problem.

Anytime you get over half an inch of ice, that brings down a lot of branches on power lines.

You get these extended power outages.

So this is going to be the devastating part of the storm, especially from just east of Dallas through places like Shreveport, Tupelo, maybe even Memphis, and then another spot down there in the southeast around Atlanta into the north.
