WASHINGTON, Feb. 17 (UPI) -- More than 250,000 people across the South were without power early Tuesday and some 3,000 flights were canceled after snow and ice pummeled some areas.
Ice glazed over Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia, knocking down power lines and causing mayhem for morning commuters who braved the weather. For two straight days, officials have urged residents to stay home and off the roads.
