>> gillian: americans across a huge swath of the country preparing for a winter storm. fox weather from new york. hi, nick. >> gillian you said it right there. big storm coming our way. you can see all the watches and warnings that span from texas all the way through the great lakes and up into maine. that's some 3,000 miles worth of real estate. those watches and warnings have been issued for good reason. one to 3 inches of snow in a lot of spots. start getting up into the midwest and portions of the great lakes and you see those snow totals really starting to get up there. especially around springfield, illinois through indianapolis, indiana where 12 to 18 inches of snow are possible. so a foot to a foot and a half and you will notice how the snow totals go down a touch as you look towards louisville and cincinnati. that's because ice is going to show up there and cut into some of those snow totals so we're talking about a glaze of ice here that's very likely for places like jonesboro and even louisville, i know a glaze of ice doesn't sound like a lot.
