Texas braced for new freeze as major storm forecast to sweep across US

Forecasters predict snow and ice from Rockies to midwest a year after catastrophic winter storm hit Texas power grid

A major winter storm is expected to affect a huge swath of the US from Tuesday, with heavy snow starting in the Rockies and freezing rain as far south as Texas before snow and ice come to the midwest.

The forecast comes nearly a year after a catastrophic winter storm devastated the Texas power grid, causing hundreds of deaths.
