The second storm will bring snow, heavy rain, strong winds and the risk of severe weather from the Gulf Coast to the Ohio Valley through Thursday. Meanwhile, temperatures remain above average for the eastern half of the U.S., with more cold and snow in store for the West.

Last week, a homeless man died of hypothermia in Anchorage, highlighting the flaws in the system that are failing to provide adequate shelter and resources for those in need. The death has caused many to question why more isn’t being done to protect the homeless population in Alaska.
