States across the Deep South, already hit with an icy mess, brace for another round of snow

Deep South braces for another round of snow

ATLANTA — Several areas across the Deep South might soon be glazed with another coating of snow.

The National Weather Service says 2 to 4 inches could fall late Sunday and early Monday across southern Tennessee and northeastern Alabama, while 1 inch to 2 inches could fall in parts of northern and central Georgia.

Mountainous portions of Georgia and the Carolinas could get up to 3 inches.

Several cities that are ill-equipped to deal with icy roads and piled snow, including Atlanta, were paralyzed by a snowstorm that dropped several inches of snow on the region Friday and Saturday.

Thousands of flights were canceled at the nation’s busiest airport in Atlanta, and icy streets caused hundreds of fender-benders in the region.
