Destructive ice storm in the South


We can thank our lucky stars that the active storm track has remained to our south. The strong winter storms that typically develop in the Texas Panhandle and hook north haven't been making that northerly jog lately. The South got rocked with an ice storm of historic proportions. More than a million people have lost power and the damage is staggering.

Click here to read MSNBC's story about this crippling winter storm... the pictures tell the story even better than some of the words, I think.

One of our colleagues, Ryan Vaughan, is the chief meteorologist at KAIT-TV in Jonesboro, Arkansas, a place that was hit hard with ice. You can read his blog by clicking here.

We have been lucky lately, but I have a feeling before this winter is over, we will have at least one more major snowstorm.
