Get ready, folks! A big snowstorm is sweeping through 16 states, and it's bringing a lot of snow with it. The National Weather Service (NWS) has warned that some places might get up to 20 inches of snow. That's a lot of snow! Travel might be tough, so if you have to go out, make sure you're prepared. The NWS has issued warnings for states like Wyoming and Oregon, and advisories for 14 other states. Even places like Alaska are feeling the chill, with warnings about frostbite.
Scientists in Alaska are measuring the snow, and it's clear that winter isn't backing down anytime soon. The NWS is saying that travel could be really hard, especially in places like the Teton and Gros Ventre Mountains in Wyoming. They're predicting that the snow could make the Monday and Tuesday morning commutes tricky. So, if you do have to travel, don't forget to pack some extra food, water, and a flashlight, just in case.
Oregon's Cascades are also under a warning, with up to 20 inches of snow expected. The NWS is advising people to delay travel if possible. Other areas like Idaho, Pennsylvania, and Montana are under advisories too, warning people to be careful while driving.
