- Global roundup: Several regions are under heavy snow warnings or advisories due to ongoing winter storms, with potential for blizzard-like conditions in some areas and significant travel disruption.[1][2][5]
- United States: An active winter storm pattern has prompted advisories in multiple states, including heavy snow accumulations in mountain regions and potential whiteout conditions, leading to travel bans or restrictions in the hardest-hit zones in coming days. Expect road closures, power outages in areas with heavy snow and strong winds, and delays in flights and freight.[4][1]

What this means for Prague, CZ:
- Prague is not typically affected by Atlantic winter storms in the same way as North America or parts of the UK, but occasional heavy snowfall or wind-driven snow can occur during strong cold fronts. There is no current widespread heavy-snow warning issued for Prague itself as of the latest updates, though a cold spell may bring snow chances and icy conditions locally.[9][2]
