WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina (Reuters) - The severe winter weather that hit parts of the central and southern United States on Christmas Day moved eastward on Wednesday, with forecasters predicting heavy snow in the Ohio Valley and possible tornadoes in the coastal Carolinas.
The National Weather Service issued blizzard and winter storm warnings in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio, as well as much of the Northeast, and warned motorists of "treacherous" driving conditions in those areas.
