USDA Meteorologist: “We already have two back-to-back winter storms underway.”

Chilling winter weather is impacting the country from Texas all the way to Maine.

According to USDA Meteorologist Brad Rippey, “We already have two back-to-back winter storms underway. One of them primarily affecting the mid-Atlantic and the second one is already getting organized across the central Great Plains. The two systems are going to be big weather stories over the next couple of days.”

The powerful systems have sparked a flurry of winter storm warnings and advisories.

North Dakota farmers and ranchers could see temperatures as low as -50º. Farmers in central and eastern Iowa are expecting as much as seven inches of snow.
