CHICAGO (AP) — A storm that gathered steam over the southern Rockies moved into the Midwest early Sunday
and is expected to dump more than a foot of snow as it moves toward New England, which is still
recovering from a winter walloping it received just a few days ago.
The weather may be bad news for those planning to drive to Super Bowl parties, as forecasters warn of
hazardous driving conditions across the region.
Here’s the outlook:

THE STORM
A snowstorm that crawled into the Midwest early Sunday is expected to be the most widespread storm so far
of the season. National Weather Service forecasters say it could dump a foot or more of snow as it moves
from Nebraska to Maine.
It’s also forecast to be unusually slow-moving, meaning accumulations of between 10 to 14 inches of snow
are possible for parts of northern Illinois, Indiana and northwest Ohio. Similar amounts of snow are
expected for the Northeast on Monday.
"This is going to be a very high-impact storm for a large swath of the eastern half of the
country," National Weather Service meteorologist Ricky Castro said.
