Heavy snow is expected on Sunday in the Northeast before the coldest air in several years descends across much of the country starting on Monday, forecasters warned.

Hazardous snow, sleet and freezing rain disrupted travel plans and caused power outages in the Mid-Atlantic region, as bitter cold set in.

Officials are bracing for a dreadful mix of sleet, snow and freezing rain that is forecast to hit from Kansas to Virginia this weekend.
