A major winter storm is sliding east across the south-central United States, packing a mix of snow, sleet and ice for tens of millions of Americans as it rolls across the mid-South and up the Appalachians.

Winter weather advisories and winter storm watches and warnings stretch from Kansas and Oklahoma to the East Coast and Canadian border. The storm is set to perform its second and third acts this weekend amid a 2,000-mile journey across the Lower 48.
