The Weather Channel reports:

W​inter Storm Blair has prompted blizzard and winter storm warnings for millions as it continues to spread heavy snow and ice from the Plains to the Midwest and mid-Atlantic through Monday. Travel will likely be snarled across multiple states and icing could be heavy enough to damage trees and knock out power.

Winter storm warnings for snow and/or ice stretch from the mid-Mississippi and Ohio valleys to the mid-Atlantic. Those warnings include Baltimore, Cincinnati, Louisville, Kentucky, St. Louis and Washington, D.C.

I​n all of these areas, travel should be avoided until the storm has passed. A​n ice storm warning is also in effect from southern Missouri to southern portions of Illinois and western Kentucky. Icing in this area could damage trees and power lines, resulting in power outages that might last for days.
