The United States is bracing itself for yet another storm set to hit this week.

The storm's effects will range from heavy snow and rain to powerful winds, varying by location, according to the Washington Post.

The northern plains—including parts of Iowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota—have received blizzard warnings, and are forecasting 12 to 18 inches of snow. Forecasts for parts of South Dakota include more than 24 inches of heavy, wet snow. Areas from the Continental Divide to the Great Lakes region have also received winter storm warnings.
