Some of these areas might get blizzard-like conditions.

Even around the Piedmont, if we see the winds cranking over 35 miles per hour, the visibility is going to start to drop.

Drifting snow, that's going to be an issue also, but it's already starting to pile up.

A lot of good forcing for heavy snow, and that's now edging right out of Greenville into the Piedmont of North Carolina.

That's why we're starting to see these snowfall totals pick up, and this is just phase number one.

So we're in it now with heavy bouts of snow.

Winds have been starting to pick up.

We're going to see temperatures just plummet down to about 12 degrees.

New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, all the way up there with the icing that went right through middle Tennessee.

Things right there are much worse than we are right here.

And then you're talking about epic amounts of snow, something we haven't seen in four years.

About a foot of snow is what they got in Central Park and went up to 18, 20 inches around Boston.

This storm, unfortunately, it came as predicted and it continues to gain some strength.

Now, we've already seen icing.

That's freezing rain in Nashville, Tennessee.
