A massive ice storm that hit the nation’s midsection, and left nearly a million utility customers without electricity, finally tapered off, but another winter storm was forecast to develop Wednesday over the southern Plains.

The new system was expected to bring more sleet and freezing rain to Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas, but not nearly as much as the previous storm, according to the National Weather Service. The storm could reach as far as Pennsylvania, Ohio Valley, and New England.

At least 24 deaths have been blamed on the storm since it developed last weekend.
