Winter storm watches continue for parts of New York, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio on Wednesday, where lake-effect snow is expected to wallop parts of the Great Lakes region, while a good portion of the continental United States is experiencing bitter-cold temperatures.

A new winter storm has millions of people from the Great Lakes to the Northeast preparing for dangerous winds and potential near-blizzard conditions in areas that were just slammed by a lake-effect snowstorm that buried cities in feet of snow.
