Power outages, flight cancellations, thundersnow: Brutal snow, ice storm slams South
The entire Eastern USA was under a weather siege Sunday as a furious winter storm packing heavy snow, ice, gale-force winds and tornadoes rolled out of the Midwest and continued its unforgiving march across the nation.
Almost 250,000 homes and businesses were dark in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Almost 5,000 flights into, out of and within the country had been canceled or delayed as of 3 p.m. EST, according to the tracking website flightaware.com.
The impact of the storm varied greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood. Jackson, Mississippi, saw trace amounts of snow early Sunday while 25 miles to the northeast, the hamlet of Goshen Springs was blasted by more than 8 inches.
Southern cities were on alert. Nashville could get 3 inches of snow, other parts of Tennessee a foot. A tractor-trailer crash near the Tennessee River closed I-40 eastbound in Humphreys County. The Tennessee Highway Patrol reported a backup stretching several miles.

“Wintry mix” continued throughout the day. I’m in NC, and my chickens are not happy. Spent the day feeding the wild birds, feral cats, and hoping the trees don’t start snapping.
Snowing now.
