Nearly 60 million people from North Carolina to New York are bracing for a Christmas Eve storm that's predicted to bring strong winds and freezing temperatures.
Current forecasts show storms affecting a large portion of the country before hitting the East Coast on Christmas Eve with a cold front bringing an Arctic blast for the duration of the holiday.
Forecasters said that wind gusts between 25 to 35mph could mean that some Americans may wake up to power outages on Christmas Day.
It follows last week's nor'easter that killed seven people and dumped 44 inches of snow on cities across the East Coast.
