A massive winter storm continued Sunday morning, dumping snow, sleet, and freezing rain across the South and up through New England, bringing frigid temperatures, widespread power outages, and treacherous road conditions. The storm was expected to continue through Monday in many areas, with very low temperatures exacerbating the situation and causing ice and 'dangerous travel and infrastructure impacts' to linger for several days, as per the National Weather Service. Heavy snow was predicted from the Ohio Valley to the Northeast, while 'catastrophic ice accumulation' threatened the Lower Mississippi Valley down through the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. According to poweroutage.com, over 100,000 customers were without power in Tennessee and Texas, with another 100,000 impacted in Mississippi and over 84,000 in Louisiana. Additionally, more than 10,000 flights had already been canceled and another 8,000 delayed on Sunday, as reported by flightaware.com. In response to the storm, President Donald Trump approved emergency declarations for at least a dozen states, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has pre-positioned commodities, staff, and search and rescue teams in numerous regions, according to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.}
