In Missouri, Gov. Mike Parson has issued a state of emergency.
The storm has backed up lanes in both directions on Missouri's Interstate 70.
Traffic on I-70 in Columbia is backed up in both directions. This is eastbound I-70 near Stadium. Tractor trailers are having trouble climbing snow-covered hills in both directions. There’s also a jackknifed rig in the median. #MoWx pic.twitter.com/DUPYZJlqIu

Further south, an ice storm warning was issued from Memphis to Louisville. By Thursday morning the ice could be as thick as half an inch, sending trees toppling onto power lines and making roads very dangerous.
A winter storm warning was also issued for Dallas, where residents could see a wintry mix of 1 to 3 inches of snow and sleet, as well as freezing rain.
By Thursday morning the heavy snow will stretch from Texas to St. Louis to Indianapolis to Cleveland to Buffalo. On Thursday very icy conditions are expected across Texas and Arkansas and up through Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.

Dangerous ice accumulation is possible from Washington, D.C., to Philadelphia to New York City to Boston.
New York City will see rain on Thursday which will then change to freezing rain and some sleet on Friday morning. The National Weather Service warns that New York City Tristate region should be prepared for dangerous travel conditions on Friday.
