"From the Palmer Divide to the Plains on Wednesday, an exceptionally powerful “bomb cyclone” brought 100-mph wind gusts and conditions rivaling those of a hurricane, except with blinding snow in places.
The cyclone of “historic proportions,” according to the National Weather Service, is racing into the upper Midwest. Blizzard conditions, which stranded more than 1,000 motorists in Colorado on Wednesday and shut down Denver International Airport, continue to plaster parts of the Dakotas and northwest Minnesota.
A severe-storm threat extends on the massive cyclone’s south and east sides, from northern Mississippi and Alabama into southern Michigan. Tornado watches are in effect in seven states, including in the cities of Chicago, Indianapolis, and Nashville." WP
