A major winter storm that slammed the US Gulf Coast Tuesday, along with the brutal cold that helped cause it, has been blamed for at least 10 deaths.
The storm has blanketed parts of a region largely unaccustomed to extreme winter weather with record-breaking snowfall.
The storm affected 1,500 miles of the Deep South from the Texas Gulf Coast to the Atlantic coast of the Carolinas, causing widespread closures and travel disruptions, including stranded motorists and thousands of cancelled flights.
According to the CNN, the snowfall is over, but the cold is sticking around and keeping slippery conditions in place.
Many cities are begging residents to avoid driving as the sun melts snow that then refreezes, increasing the danger on roadways.
Meanwhile, multiple locations in Florida recorded enough snow to preliminarily shatter the state's all-time snowfall record of 4 inches set in 1954.
