Forecast: Powerful 'once in a generation' winter storm to blast U.S. with freezing temperatures

Forecasters predict a powerful winter storm will bring an onslaught of heavy snow, ice, flooding and powerful winds from Thursday to Saturday in a broad swath of the country, from the Plains and Midwest to the East Coast. A surge of Arctic air will follow. The Christmas weekend in Florida could be the coldest in decades.

    For it to be a "once in a generation" storm, the previous one would have to be outside of my lifetime. The last storm like this, was within the last 10 years. It's called winter
