West is already freezing. Minnesota got snow Wednesday. The State Patrol reported more than 200 collisions and 189 spinouts between 6 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Nobody died.

More than 59 million people, from Missouri to Ohio, were under winter storm warnings Wednesday night.

Another 7 million were under blizzard warnings, and wind chill warnings included Texas and Tennessee. Fort Worth, Texas, will be 11 degrees on Thursday. Wind chill makes it colder.
