Severe storms and weather are set to hit 11 different states from Texas to Virginia with possible snow, wintry mixes, possible tornadoes, possible flooding, and severe thunderstorms.
Snow fell Thursday and into Friday from Northern Texas to New England, but some areas were hit harder than others.
The large-scale storm is set to make life disruptive, with the most significant chances for snow from south-central Kansas through central Missouri, northern Illinois, and into central Michigan, the National Weather Service reported.
Up to half a foot of snow could fall in Kansas City, St. Louis, and Chicago, with limited visibility likely due to heavy snowfall mixed with strong wind gusts, AccuWeather reported. The storm was so disruptive that it brought a 100-car pileup outside Chicago that was expected to tie up traffic most of the day Friday.

Meanwhile, the warmer side of the storm brought heavy rain, severe thunderstorms, and tornadoes in the south-central U.S. from Thursday into Friday.
AccuWeather meteorologists also warned that everything was on the table with strong wind gusts, large hail, and other forms of severe weather.
The NWS said that the plains and the southern Appalachians are the most susceptible to flash flooding due to heavy rain.
After Thursday night, the brunt of the severe weather shifted eastward, and into parts of the mid-South and Southeast, the Weather Service reported.
The storm has been named Winter Storm Miles by The Weather Channel.
While the storm won’t be nice, the weather after might, with the storm’s warm sector pushing temps to hit spring-like levels up to the 70s in the East and possibly the 80s in the south-central states, AccuWeather meteorologists reported.
The Eastern Seaboard will see Miles by Friday and experience mostly rain all the way up to Maine, Weather.com said.
