Winter storm in South brings snow, travel chaos

Travel chaos erupted in the Southern areas as winter storm Cora brought historic snowfall to states, including Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, Texas and Georgia, causing over 3,200 flight cancellations and another 5,100 delays over the weekend.

The snowfall also led to record-breaking icy conditions. The freezing winter storm shut schools, caused power cuts and hazardous driving conditions for millions in the South and Southeast.

National Guard troops assisted stranded motorists in parts of Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina, which saw up to a foot of snow—well above the yearly averages.

There were long delays at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which affected 1,000 flights.
