As much as six inches of snow is forecast to fall on parts of Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio and could top a foot in Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

Wet weather, including freezing rain and sleet, was already bothering parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Arkansas and Iowa on Tuesday as well.

More than 1,200 flights have already been canceled for Tuesday, and another 1,100 for Wednesday, bringing the total for the week up to more than 6,000.
