Southern U.S. faces messy mix of snow, ice and sleet

Southern Indiana could see up to 10 inches of snow while northern Kentucky faces between 8 to 14 inches, according to the National Weather Service.

“Travel will be treacherous with some roads nearly impassable,” the National Weather Service said. “Have an emergency kit of blankets, food, water and flashlights if you must travel.”

In addition to slick roads, trees may come down because of snow accumulations, causing power outages. Forecasters warned residents in affected areas to defer travel in rural roads until Tuesday.

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley ordered various agencies on alert, including the Emergency Management Agency, the state National Guard and law enforcement agencies.

“It’s official, Boston has reached its snowiest month on record with 45.5 total inches,” the National Weather Service tweeted. “The old record was 43.3 in January 2005.”
