A new and potentially devastating ice storm is set to sweep across the southern United States this weekend, threatening to cause widespread disruption just as northern regions recover from severe snow and freezing temperatures.
The impending weather event, expected to arrive late this week and continue into the weekend, is being described as a "widespread potentially catastrophic event from Texas to the Carolinas," according to Ryan Maue, a former chief scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. He added: "I don’t know how people are going to deal with it."
