A second winter storm in as many days will slam parts of the Midwest before rolling toward the East Coast. Major travel disruptions are likely.

The primary concerns from the next storm will be icy conditions, especially in northwestern New Jersey. Hundreds of school districts delayed openings or are closed on Wednesday. More school schedule changes could be announced for Thursday morning with the next shot of winter weather.

A procession of winter storms is forecast to bring snow, sleet, ice and potentially flood-inducing rain to sprawling bands of the U.S. this week.

The mid-Atlantic and Ohio Valley are preparing for an onslaught of snow and ice from a series of winter storms that are sweeping across the nation this week and into the weekend.
