A severe winter storm is sweeping across the southern United States, bringing cold temperatures, snow, and dangerous ice. The storm has caused widespread travel disruptions, with over 3,000 flights canceled and thousands delayed, including 1,100 cancellations by Delta Airlines. It has also led to significant power outages, leaving over 135,000 homes and businesses without electricity in states like Georgia, Texas, and Arkansas. Meteorologists warn the storm will intensify, with heavy snow and ice accumulation expected as temperatures drop further on Saturday.

Crews began preparing for the storm on Wednesday and have been responding to winter weather in the mountains for weeks.
