A fierce storm barreling across the country toward the Mid-Atlantic pounded a vast area with a wintry mix of sleet, snow and freezing rain that the Weather Prediction Center warned could bring “significant disruptions” to daily life and travel on Sunday and Monday. The storm glazed roads in ice across Kansas on Saturday. Some 50 million people will be under winter weather advisories, watches and warnings over the course of the storm. Power outages, downed trees and travel disruptions at airports and on roads are likely. In the most extreme situations, whiteouts fueled by blizzards or blizzard conditions could make roads impassable and strand drivers, the National Weather Service said.

A strong winter storm accompanied by Arctic cold is poised to bring “significant wintry weather” this weekend to about a dozen states across the middle of the country, from the Central Plains to the Mid-Atlantic, according to the Weather Prediction Center, with forecasters warning that some places may get their heaviest snowfall in a decade or more. The storm is expected to bring a nasty mix of sleet, snow and freezing rain that is expected to disrupt travel and daily life with road closures, flight delays and power outages beginning Saturday and lasting through Monday. As the storm moves on, Arctic air is predicted to settle in its wake, as some of the most frigid temperatures of the season are expected to linger for days. Some state officials were already gearing up for the worst on Friday. Glenn Youngkin of Virginia declared a state of emergency, days ahead of the storm’s arrival, and urged people to avoid traveling on Sunday.

A day after a man died beneath ocean-swept debris and another man went missing along the California coast, officials warned people on Tuesday to stay away from many of the state’s beaches because of an unusually powerful surf that arrived just before the holidays. The thrashing of Pacific Ocean waves on Monday also caused part of an iconic wooden pier in Santa Cruz, Calif., to collapse, sending three people into the sea, along with a large bathroom structure. The individuals were rescued and did not suffer serious injuries, according to the city’s mayor. Dangerous surf pounded California beaches on Monday with waves up to 40 feet tall, and they were even bigger in some locations, including the Mavericks surf break off Half Moon Bay, a spot known for its big waves, 15 miles south of San Francisco.
