According to Newsweek, the National Weather Service has issued warnings and weather advisories for the people regarding heavy snow and ice over the weekend.

A warning reads, “Consider taking a winter storm kit along with you, including such items as tire chains, booster cables, flashlight, shovel, blankets, and extra clothing. Also take water, a first-aid kit, and anything else that would help you survive in case you become stranded."
