This visible image captured by the NASA’s GOES-13 satellite at 2:31 p.m. EST shows the low pressure area stretching from the Colorado Rockies and Texas east to New England. A colossal winter storm stretching from New Mexico to Maine hit the heartland of the United States with snow, high winds and freezing rain on Tuesday, and experts said the worst was still to come as the monster event moved northeast and temperatures plunged.

Snowed in cars sit on the 3600 block of North Springfield Avenue in Chicago.

An abandoned bus is among the vehicles abandoned along northbound Lake Shore Drive.

Christina Perri – Jar of Hearts Lyrics:

No I can’t take one more step towards you
Cause all that’s waiting is regret
And don’t you know I’m not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are

I hear your asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are

And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I would have missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now your back
You don’t get to get me back

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all

Who do you think you are

Kim Kardashian credits Kanye West with kickstarting her new music career because the rapper encouraged the reality TV star to step into the recording studio.

The “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” star teamed up with R&B producer The-Dream last year to work on her debut album, but says she wouldn’t have considered the studio sessions without West’s words of wisdom.

She tells MTV.com, “OK, I’m not a singer, this isn’t what I do. I have too much other stuff going on. (I thought) ‘Is this really something safe for me to do?’

“Kanye was actually one of the people who really talked me into doing it and telling me, like, ‘Hey, look, what do you guys do for fun? You guys go shopping, you go to the movies. Kind of step into our world for a second and have fun, and we go to the studio.’

“I’m just doing it for fun.”

Kardashian also thanks singer Ciara for putting her in touch with her collaborator, adding, “The-Dream wrote and produced the song (“Turn It Up”), and Ciara talked me into doing it and said I should meet with him.”
