Some major normally warm weather tourist areas are going to be hit with a rare Winter storm. Places such as Charleston, SC, Savannah, Ga., Pensacola, Fla., and New Orleans are going to receive a mixture of snow and ice Tuesday and Wednesday. Some schools are already planning half days and will likely be closed tomorrow in advance of the severe weather. More then 1,800 flights have already been cancelled.
The snowfall amounts are not going to be the main issue, it is going to be the ice. Folks in the affected areas are asked to stock up on food, medicine, water and other necessities as travel may become nearly impossible with the ice covered roads. In addition, icing could cause lines to fail creating power outages that could last for a long time.
This type of event is not something this part of the country is used to. Be sure to stay in touch with your local governments in regard to closings of both schools and businesses as well as local road conditions.
