Millions across the Gulf Coast states are bracing for a rare winter storm moving along the northern Gulf of Mexico, which will spread dangerous snow and ice along 1,000 miles of Interstate 10 from central Texas to northern Florida and the coastal areas of Georgia and the Carolinas, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. The storm threatens to shut down travel for days and cut power for an extended period in part of the region.

As of Tuesday morning, an unprecedented blizzard warning was in effect from the upper Texas coast to part of the Louisiana coast. Blizzard conditions occur when the visibility is one-quarter of a mile or less in snow or blowing snow with winds of 35 mph or greater for at least three consecutive hours. The storm has shut down roads and airports along the Gulf coast, including in the Houston area.

For parts of the western and northern Gulf coast, this could be the biggest snow and ice storm in more than 100 years and possibly one that people may remember for decades.
