The season's first blizzard to wallop northern U.S. with up to 3 feet of snow
Parts of the Northwest and southern Canada are bracing for a potentially "historic" snowstorm.

Parts of the Northwest and southern Canada are bracing for a potentially "historic" snowstorm that will unleash heavy snow, fierce winds and record cold - and meteorologists say the timing of this storm will add to the dangers.
Hazardous travel conditions and power outages will result as blizzard conditions will unfold in some areas, according to AccuWeather meteorologists.

On Wednesday, the National Weather Service (NWS) in Missoula, Montana, warned that the storm has the potential to be 'historic' due to its occurrence so early in the season. Life-threatening conditions in the backcountry and damaging winds were among the dangers the NWS office highlighted in a tweet.
AccuWeather spoke with Rebecca Connors, public information officer for the City of Helena Public Works, in anticipation of the early snowstorm.
"It's Montana, and this is kind of the characteristic of Montana, freak snowstorms. Our seasons are short except for winter," Connors told AccuWeather.

Montana crews are gearing up for the disruptive snowfall and preparing for the challenges an early-season storm presents, David Knoepke, transportation system director, said in an interview with AccuWeather.
"We'll have to build up all of our snowplow trucks. We're starting that today [Wednesday] into the weekend. It is a little bit earlier than typical, but not uncommon," Knoepke told AccuWeather. "Our snow policy, strategy is that we'll get the emergency snow routs done first and then go onto the rest of our priority routes and make sure that everything is sanded and cleared as appropriate to make travel safe."
"I think some of it will be we have a lot of summer recreational things are parked in the parking lanes, boats, trailers, basketball hoops, that typically aren't in there when our snow season really starts, so just maneuvering around all the extra vehicles that may be parked on the streets," Knoepka added.
As the storm evolves, temperatures may plummet 50 degrees Fahrenheit (25 degrees Celsius) or more in some locations.
Those in the high country and intermediate elevations will be at risk for becoming stranded and could be in a life-threatening situation for a few days during and after the storm with below-freezing temperatures predicted.
