    Lumbering coast to coast, a winter storm hammered the Great Plains on Thursday, and more than a dozen more states were forecast to be hit in coming days.

    Accidents were reported across the region, with one death: an Oklahoma teenager who was killed when his pickup truck skidded across a slushy road. Read full story

    Snow set to blanket East Coast

    Janet S. Carter / The Free Press via AP

    Snow flurries create a haze along Washington Street as winter weather sets in over Kinston, N.C., Feb. 16.

    The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for eastern Massachusetts, including the Boston area, and Rhode Island through 7 p.m. ET Sunday. Up to 10 inches of snow accumulation was possible for some areas on Sunday, the weather service said.

    The culprit is a large dip in the jet stream that brought colder-than-average temperatures to the eastern U.S., Weather.com reported, resulting in freeze warnings for parts of northern Florida. That was combined with a low-pressure system heading north that was expected to be off New England Sunday morning.

    Connecticut's nursery and landscaping businesses hit hard by snow storm

    Dave Collins / AP

    Orlando Nunez dismantles a greenhouse that collapsed under the weight of snow at Sunny Border Nurseries in the Kensington section of Berlin, Conn., Feb. 13, 2013. Five of the nursery's 16 greenhouses caved in after the heavy snowfall Friday and Saturday. Much of the damage in Connecticut was to the state's nursery and landscaping businesses, which account for more than $1 billion sales, or about half of all agriculture in the state.

    NBC News reports:

    The snow-weary Northeast is about to get hit again. And again.

    Forecasters say parts of New England — still digging out from an epic snowstorm last weekend — should get several inches of snow Wednesday night, according to weather.com. New York and Philadelphia could see 1 to 3 inches.

    John Gress / Reuters

    Firefighters spray down hot spots on an ice covered warehouse that caught fire Tuesday night in Chicago on Jan. 23. Fire department officials said it is the biggest fire the department has had to battle in years and one-third of all Chicago firefighters were on the scene at one point or another trying to put out the flames.

    By John Newland and Daniel Arkin, NBC News

    A massive fire ripped through a warehouse in Chicago's South Side Tuesday night, as firefighters were hampered by bone-chilling temperatures so low that water froze on their uniforms.

    The 170 firefighters on the scene battled the elements on two fronts as the monster blaze consumed a warehouse building, endangering an adjacent structure, while temperatures dipped into the single-digits.

    “This is a major fire,” the Chicago Fire Department posted on Twitter, adding that the scale of the response -- five alarms plus two “special” calls for additional trucks -- was “extremely rare.” Continue reading.
