High winds and heavy snow turned much of the Midwest into a frosty mess on Friday. Roads and sidewalks across the region became treacherous, forcing some highways to close and grounding thousands of flights.

A mass of frigid Arctic air trailed behind the storm, biting at fingers, reddening cheeks and threatening a dangerously cold holiday weekend.

The storm affected nearly 30 million Americans, according to the National Weather Service, which said that more than a foot of snow could fall in parts of the Midwest by Saturday morning. Officials across the region delivered a drumbeat of similar messages: Avoid the storm. Keep warm. Stay home if you can.
