<div>"This is gonna be one of those storms you probably remember for much of your life."</div> <div> </div> <div>Matt Randolph, a renowned energy expert and Forbes energy contributor, breaks down a forecast that was dismissed all week… until every major model converged.</div> <div> </div> <div>He says this isn’t “just a snowstorm.”</div> <div>It’s an infrastructure event: below-zero temperatures, heavy snow, and an ice zone calling for up to THREE INCHES OF ICE.</div> <div> </div> <div>“There’s gonna be loss of life.”</div> <div>“The grid’s gonna fail. Refineries are gonna shut down.</div> <div>Water systems are gonna shut down.”</div> <div> </div> <div>Then the part most people aren’t hearing:</div> <div> </div> <div>“If you’re in the affected area, you should plan to be without power for at least a week, maybe a month.”</div> <div> </div> <div>At that level, roads turn to glass and emergency services won’t be able to reach you. No ambulances. No fire trucks. No emergency services will be able to help.</div> <div> </div> <div>Randolph compares it to Texas 2021 and says this could be colder, wider, and harder to recover from.</div> ]]> Wed 21 Jan 2026 10:22:00 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1610110/they-re-quietly-admitting-it-now-a-once-in-a-lifetime-storm-is-about-to-hit-half-the-u-s-and-it-could-turn-catastrophic/
