<h2>Warning Issued to Various Regions</h2>
According to the National Weather Service, there was a blizzard, a cold blast, and Lake-effect snow throughout the Great Lakes basin from the Midwest to the Northeast. Over the holiday weekend, a winter storm will cause severely freezing wind chills throughout central and eastern sections of the U.S. Temperatures would be 25 to 35 degrees below average from the area east of the Rockies to the Appalachians.

The organization warned that in certain areas, the heavy winds might approach or surpass 60 MPH leading to destruction and power disruptions.  These winds combined with the current snow accumulation will cause ground blizzards. On Friday afternoon, several hundred thousand customers were without electricity, according to PowerOutage.us, a website that monitors power failures in the U.S. Maine, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and North Carolina seemed to have the most outages.
