By Sean Breslin:
Winter Storm Pax continued its second wave of wintry weather Wednesday morning, dumping freezing rain and sleet across a wide area that could experience catastrophic conditions for a prolonged period of time.
"Winds are gusting as over 30 miles per hour in some locations, and that combined with the ice on the trees is really ramping up the power outages," said Tom Niziol, winter weather expert for The Weather Channel. "I expect to see them become more and more widespread throughout the day."
