Severe Winter Storm Disrupts Travel and Power Across Southern U.S.

Ice and snow have led to widespread flight cancellations, power outages, and dangerous road conditions, with recovery efforts underway.

Major airports in Atlanta and Charlotte continue to experience significant delays and cancellations, with over 1,300 flights affected across the region since Friday.
Freezing temperatures are expected to refreeze melting snow, creating hazardous road conditions, particularly on secondary roads in affected areas.
Over 110,000 customers in Georgia experienced power outages due to freezing rain and high winds, though most outages were restored by Saturday morning.
Southern states, including Arkansas and North Carolina, declared states of emergency and deployed National Guard troops to assist with stranded motorists and other storm-related challenges.
The storm brought record-breaking snowfall to cities like Little Rock, Memphis, and parts of Texas and Oklahoma, while rare January wildfires occurred in Los Angeles due to dry conditions.
