More arctic air expected in parts of the South still covered in ice and riddled with power outages01/27/2026(Associated Press) - A new influx of arctic air is expected to spur freezing temperatures in parts of the South already covered in snow and ice. Many people have fled to warming shelters, and crews worked Tuesday to restore power knocked out by a massive weekend winter storm. At least 30 deaths have been reported in states afflicted with severe cold. The storm dropped over a foot of snow from Arkansas to New England, halting traffic, canceling thousands of flights and triggering wide school closures Monday. The National Weather Service says more widespread record cold temperatures are forecast for Tuesday, with eastern Texas through western Pennsylvania under extreme cold warnings.
