The Northeast is experiencing a major snowstorm, with some areas already receiving almost four feet of snow and more on the way due to lake-effect snow. Temperatures are expected to be well below normal, with bitter cold across the Northern Plains and the eastern third of the country. New York state has been hit particularly hard, with some communities reporting over 40 inches of snow. The storm has prompted a disaster declaration in Pennsylvania, where interstates were closed and speed restrictions put in place. The cold weather is expected to stick around for several days, with below-freezing temperatures and blustery winds sweeping across the Midwest, Ohio Valley, and Northeast. The Buffalo Bills are set to play the San Francisco 49ers in Orchard Park, New York on Sunday night, despite the almost two feet of snow in the area. Residents in affected areas are advised to stay off the roads as authorities work to make them safe and passable. Overall, the region is facing dangerous winter weather conditions and significant challenges as they navigate the aftermath of the storm.
