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

Source: CNN

By Faith Karimi and Mariano Castillo

As a weary Northeast remains buried in snow , the South is gearing up for a messy mix of snow, sleet and ice.

More than a dozen states will be affected, including Kansas, Oklahoma, North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Alabama and Mississippi.

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."

...it was almost 80 deg-F in much of Santa Barbara County this weekend. Blue skies, no wind. I was in the park flying quad-copters with my 13 year old son. It was lovely. The only snow was inside our freezer, clinging to the ice cream carton. Ahh, California.

Massive flooding is wonderful! And they get names so we can anthropomorphize them!
