A fairly massive winter storm is developing along the US Rocky Mountain front . It threatens possible blizzard conditions from the Central Plains to New England. Forecasters have already named it the Groundhog Day Storm. Winter storms of this extent are fairly rare in the US . The classic example is the historic Blizzard of 1888 in March of that year. It extended from Nebraska to New England with hurricane force winds, 1-2 meters of snow with drifts up to 10 meters (over 30 ft) and subzero F temperatures (below -18C).
