Another winter storm is to detach its rage over the central United States, bring heavy snow and ice to parts of the plains and midwest, forcing officials to close state offices and schools and get warnings to delay the journey if possible.

This latest round of bad weather comes just as Mid-Atlantic and Ohio Valley clean up after a storm system brought snow and ice to these regions and days after a winter storm slammed parts of northeast and New England last weekend.

Snowfall speeds of about an inch per hour are expected to produce at least 4 inch total sneak cumulation from central Kansas northeast over through large parts of the lower Michigan, including Kansas City, Chicago, Milwaukee and Detroit.

According to Fox Forecast Center, this winter storm could be the largest blizzard of the season so far for several Midwest towns, including Chicago and Detroit.
