Forecasters warned that catastrophic damage, especially in areas pounded by ice, could rival that of a hurricane. Schools in Chicago and other Midwestern cities called off classes, airlines cancelled thousands of weekend flights, churches moved Sunday services online and the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, decided to hold its Saturday night radio performance without fans.
