Here is the latest Winter Weather Severity Index graphic. This is simply showing where there will be potential impacts from the upcoming winter storm. There is large swath where moderate to major impacts may occur. Now is the time to prepare for any issues that may arise, especially if you are in that large swath of potential moderate to major impacts.
Note: Likely impacts may be stranded cars, car accidents, downed trees, and power outages, all of which affect quality of life and cause major impacts to urbanized areas. This graphic takes into account the forecasted amounts of snow, as well as population, which is why most of the red (major impacts) are over urban areas. We hope this clears up some confusion!
