A slow winter storm is crossing the Midwest before turning along the Mid-Atlantic towards New England, bringing about a foot of snow in some parts of the country.
The storm started in California, bringing rare snow to parts of the state before it hit the central plains. The system gained strength as it moved across the country, eventually dropping snow in Chicago and the Ohio Valley.
