A massive, days-long winter storm has started hitting large swaths of the U.S.
that could dump up to 2 feet of snow in some areas, accompanied by strong winds and dangerously cold temperatures. The system stretches as far west as California.
"The schools are already preparing to go online, so the kids will probably be home doing online school," Schirmer said of her 13- and 15-year-olds. Temperatures could plunge to minus 15 to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit Thursday and to minus 25 degrees Fahrenheit Friday in Grand Forks, North Dakota. Wind chills may fall to minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit, said Nathan Rick, a meteorologist in Grand Forks.
"I think people are either prepared or they're not," Kapaun said."It's usually the first snowfall of the year that gets a lot of attention. With a storm like this, I expected a little bit more, but we've already had a big year of snow already."
