treacherous mix of ice and snow

A mammoth storm is threatening to paralyze parts of the Midwest and South with ice, snow, dangerously cold temperatures and possible power outages starting Wednesday.

Ice accumulation is expected across the South, including in the Dallas-Fort Worth region and Memphis, with effects that could linger into the weekend. Overall, more than 100 million people are under winter weather alerts that stretch from the Rockies to New England.

"A corridor of heavy ice accumulation (exceeding a quarter of an inch) is likely from Texas through the Ohio Valley," the Weather Prediction Center said early Wednesday. "Locations impacted by snow and/or ice are expected to have temperatures remain below freezing, and well below average for at least a couple of days after the wintry precip(itation) ends."

About 3,000 US domestic flights have been canceled Wednesday and Thursday because of the storm, according to FlightAware. Airlines including Southwest, American, United and Delta Air will let travelers impacted by bad weather rebook for free.

Thank you for that. Sometimes I feel like I have PTSD about weather because of last year.

I’m scared.
