Major Winter Storm Shifts, Threatens 160 Million People as 12 Inches of Snow Approach

Over the past several days, meteorologists have been tracking a major winter storm that was expected to bring heavy snow and ice to much of the country. While that storm was initially expected to threaten the southern portion of the United States, it appears that the storm has shifted.

As the significant winter storm approaches, the most recent models suggest that the storm will strike much further north than originally expected, which could cause some problems for around 160 million Americans in some of the country's largest cities.
