A monster winter storm kept its grip on the United States' Northern Plains and Upper Midwest on Thursday after delivering heavy snows, freezing rains and gusty winds to the central US.

At the same time, parts of the Ohio Valley and the South could see near record-breaking high temperatures, beginning Thursday and continuing over the next few days, including Sunday when it is expected to be 88°F in Jacksonville, Florida. Rare winter flurries were reported in San Francisco while blizzard conditions were expected in high elevations—even in the Los Angeles area. By Saturday, up to 8 feet of snow could accumulate on Mount Baldy, about 45 miles east of Los Angeles in the San Gabriel Mountains.
On Thursday morning, snow was falling at a rate of 1 to 2 inches an hour in Minneapolis, a Midwestern city in a metropolitan area that is home to about 2.9 million people, that was already blanketed by 8 inches of snow. The Minneapolis school system was holding classes remotely for more than 29,000 pupils for the rest of the week. Dozens of school districts also canceled classes in North and South Dakota, Colorado, Michigan and Wyoming.
