If we look at the jet stream for Friday morning, a massive trough will stretch to the south and help spawn a nasty storm that will likely bring some serious wintry conditions to the Southern states.

Southern states don't often deal with winter conditions, but New England does. New Hampshire especially has tips for how to prepare for a winter storm.

Brutal cold will open the door for a winter storm to take a somewhat unusual track through the South and create treacherous conditions.

Storm Cora will bring a round of snow and ice to many southern cities, including Dallas, Shreveport, Little Rock, Birmingham, Atlanta, Memphis and Raleigh. Several inches of snow and some ice will fall from Texas to Georgia and South and North Carolina through Saturday.
