                  Northeast US Braces for Blizzard Conditions

   by VOA News

   Parts of the United States are bracing for blizzard conditions as a
   powerful storm moves east after bringing snow and tornadoes to the
   southern United States.
   Blizzard warnings are in effect for parts of the states of Indiana and
   Ohio.
   The National Weather Service is advising people to stay off the roads,
   saying snow and strong winds could create white-out conditions, making
   travel extremely dangerous.
   It says 15 to 25 centimeters of snow could fall in the area.
   Winter storm warnings stretch from Indiana to Maine, while parts of
   North Carolina and South Carolina are under tornado watches.
   Several deaths were reported after the storm swept through the southern
   U.S. on Christmas Day, Tuesday.
   Tornadoes touched down in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas,
   damaging homes and leaving tens of thousands of residents without
   power. The system also caused winter storms in Oklahoma, leading to a
   21-car accident on a major interstate.
   The fatalities include a 25-year-old Texas man who died when a tree
   toppled onto his pickup truck, and a person in Oklahoma killed in a car
   crash on a snow-covered highway.
