Winter Weather Sweeps Through South: Schools Close

The South is experiencing a historic winter storm, leading to extreme cold and hazardous travel conditions. Many schools have shut down due to the weather. Florida and Georgia are some of the states affected, with school closures across multiple counties. In Texas, cities like Houston and Dallas have also seen schools close because of the freezing temperatures and icy roads. Tennessee and West Virginia are not spared, with a large number of schools closing too. Some schools in North Carolina are running virtual classes due to the bad weather. Even Virginia and Mississippi have schools closed or delayed. The National Weather Service warns about arctic air lingering, with slow returns to normal temperatures. This storm's impact on travel may last for days due to heavy snowfall and lack of snow-clearing equipment.
