Treacherous travel underway as blizzard conditions and ice blast parts of central US

A winter storm, intensifying into a blizzard, is sweeping through the Plains and upper Midwest, bringing heavy snow, freezing rain, and strong winds.

The hazardous conditions pose significant travel risks during the busy holiday week.

The National Weather Service warns of frequent wind gusts ranging from 50 to 60 mph on Tuesday, with isolated gusts reaching up to 75 mph.

These strong winds have the potential to topple trees and power lines, creating blizzard conditions that may render travel “difficult to near impossible.”

Blizzard warnings are in effect for parts of Nebraska, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado, and Wyoming on Tuesday.

Blizzard conditions occur when blowing snow and sustained strong winds persist for at least three hours, reducing visibility to a quarter-mile or less, CNN reported.
