The National Weather Service warned Tuesday that the major winter storm responsible for producing big snow and ice accumulations in parts of the central and eastern U.S. is making a beeline for eastern Canada, but not before it causes heavy snow and freezing rain in parts of the eastern Great Lakes and New England. The Arctic high pressure that has enveloped the heartland will keep temperatures frigid for another few days.
