Up to 17 inches of snow is set to hit several states across the U.S. from Tuesday through to Thursday, prompting the National Weather Service (NWS) to issue multiple winter storm warnings and advise travelers to “drive with extreme caution” or even consider delaying all travel.

Hazardous winter weather was expected through early Wednesday, according to forecasters. The storm had dropped a wintry mix of precipitation across the Midwest overnight.

On Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. EST the National Weather Service released an updated winter weather advisory in effect until Thursday at 7 a.m. EST for Alger, Luce and Schoolcraft counties.

Nearly a foot of snow fell on one town from one winter storm that hit the Northeast earlier in the week.

Several inches of snow are expected to fall on Dec. 2 in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, with freezing rain and iced-over roads in some areas.

Forecasters are urging residents and travelers to take precautions, as the snowfall could lead to dangerous driving conditions.

Black ice, snow showers and fog are pestering post-holiday travelers in the Midwest, while the Northeast is gearing up for its first major snowstorm of the season.
