At least nine people have been killed in weather-related traffic accidents across the South.
ATLANTA (AP) - South Carolina troopers are reporting more than 2,000 wrecks in the state because of wintry road conditions.
At least nine people have been killed in weather-related traffic accidents across the South.
Icy roads are blamed in separate accidents that killed two people in Louisiana, two in Oklahoma and one each in Kansas and Alabama. Three more drivers were killed in Arkansas when they veered off the pavement.
The powerful storm that struck this weekend has left snow ranging from several inches to more than a foot from Louisiana to the Carolinas.
It has shut down cities and towns, closed many businesses, and canceled most flights at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the world's busiest.
The storm system is expected to spread north to Ohio and could hit the snow-weary Northeast later in the week.
