The Hudson River is already frozen north of Poughkeepsie, and how can I tell?

I can see the snow cover on the satellite photos this morning.

So there's already parts of it that have started to freeze over.

Delaware is a little further south.

But if we stay cold into February, it's a possibility.

Mississippi, it's definitely frozen in the upper Midwest.

Major winter storm will be developing in western and central portions of Texas by Friday afternoon as energy from the Pacific works its way inland.

The storm system is going to produce snow and ice as we head through the weekend across more than 30 states.

Looking at numerous states under winter storm watches currently, they'll be converted to winter storm warnings by tomorrow.

Looks like the storm is going to track across portions of the upper Gulf Coast and the lower Tennessee River Valley and then redevelop off the coast of mid-Atlantic states by Sunday night.

That'll continue to bring snow to portions of the northeast Sunday and Monday.
