A major winter coast-to-coast storm was unleashing heavy snow, rains and powerful winds across the Intermountain West Sunday ahead of its forecast slow track across the country. | The heaviest snow Sunday was in the Sierra Nevada and Northern California, where forecasters said snowfall rates of 3 inches per hour were expected to cause "nearly impossible travel" conditions. The storm is forecast to hit the Plains, South and Northeast even harder later this week. ● By the time this storm system moves off the east coast at the end of this week, it will have dumped a foot or more of snow across at least a half dozen states, spawned tornadoes in the South, and acted as a kickoff event to rearranging the jet stream to ensure a colder, snowier finish to December. This will be especially true for the Midwest and East. ● Winter storm warnings were in effect over 250 miles of the Sierra, from north of Reno down to Yosemite National Park, until late Sunday or early Monday as multiple roads in the region closed due to the snowfall, per AP.
