The winter storm that affected the Southeast yesterday will move offshore this morning, but some light snow and icing will be possible from portions of Northern Florida into the coastal areas of the Carolinas. In the Pacific Northwest and into the Rockies, rain and snow will be likely today and through the end of the week.

Snow and ice accumulation for Wednesday

The snow across the Southeast caused many problems yesterday. In Georgia, the National Guard was out in full force rescuing stranded motorists yesterday as well as this morning. Some motorists were forced to spend the night in their cars and some school children spent the night in their schools. As of 9pm Tuesday night, there were a total of 940 crashes since 10am that morning. These incidents caused 104 injuries and one fatality. While only 2-3 inches of snow fell in Atlanta, it was enough to delay or cancel hundreds of flights out of Hartsfield International Airport. States of emergency were declared in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
