"This has been an unusual winter, with a lot of storms one right after the other," said Bob Becker, a maintenance engineer for the Missouri Transportation Department.

Ice could accumulate as far north as New York by Monday, with heavy snow across the entire Northeast.The remnants of the heavy rain system flooding parts of California were expected to drop 5 to 10 inches of snow beginning late Thursday night over an area stretching from Montana and Idaho south to Colorado and Utah, the National Weather Service said. Blizzard warnings were in effect Thursday night for parts of western Montana.

The storm will bring significant ice accumulation to much of the Ohio Valley by Sunday, The Weather Channel predicted.
