What are the impacts of the severe winter storm affecting the heartland of America?

The massive winter storm has created treacherous conditions across multiple states, turning roads in Oklahoma City into ice rinks with vehicles losing control. Interstate 40 has been reduced to one lane due to accidents, including a Lowe's truck spinning out and an 18-wheeler sideswiping a plow truck. The storm is bringing significant snowfall—up to a foot in Kansas and two feet in the Rockies—while Chicago experienced wind chills of 21 below zero. The death toll in Kentucky has risen to at least 14, and officials in affected areas are urging drivers to stay off roads as blowing snow continues.
