"Snow And Ice Leave 4 Dead, Shut Down Deep South"

"Snow and ice carpeted much of the Deep South on Monday, leaving four people dead, cutting off power to thousands and closing countless roads, authorities said.

Up to nine inches of snow fell in highland parts of the South with lesser amounts in North and South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi, but authorities said a bigger problem was icy roads.

'Bad everywhere,' is how Nicholas Stembridge of the Tennessee Highway Patrol, described roads in his state."

Matthew Bigg reports for Reuters January 11, 2011.
