Massive winter storm bears down on Southeast
A major winter storm has been rolling across a 2,000-mile stretch of the Lower 48, causing travel disruptions and dangerous driving conditions.

More than 80 million people are under winter weather alerts Sunday, from Mississippi to Maine. Snow and ice are affecting southern areas unaccustomed to such weather, including northern parts of Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, as well as the interior Carolinas. Winter storm warnings are in effect along the Appalachians, where a broad 5 to 10 inches of snow is possible. Closer to the Interstate 95 corridor, winter weather advisories are more common, because of the threat of mixing, which would reduce snowfall totals.
