Dangerous deep freeze hits the South and Northeast

The massive winter storm is bringing a blast of freezing air, which is especially dangerous for the South.


The wind chill -- what temperature it feels like -- dropped Sunday to 6 degrees in Dallas; 7 degrees in Little Rock, Arkansas; minus 3 degrees in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; minus 2 in St. Louis, Missouri and 15 in Nashville. The storm knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of customers in the South, so people could be stuck without crucial heat during this deep freeze.

The dangerous cold is also invading the Northeast. The wind chill on Sunday plummeted to 6 degrees in New York City, and 1 degree in Buffalo, New York.


Over 900,000 without power

Over 900,000 customers are without power from the massive winter storm, with Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas hit the hardest.


Mavericks-Bucks game postponed

The Dallas Mavericks and Milwaukee Bucks game set for Sunday in Milwaukee has been postponed because the storm is keeping the Mavericks from leaving Dallas, the NBA said.

The date of the rescheduled game has not yet been announced.


Heavy snow taking over Northeast cities

Snowfall rates of 1 inch per hour were reported from Philadelphia to New York City on Sunday, while heavy sleet struck Washington, D.C., and much of Virginia.

Snow totals so far have hit 12 inches in New Jersey, 15 inches in Pennsylvania and 10 inches in New York and Maryland.


New York City is forecast to get 8 to 12 inches of snow, which would be the city's biggest snowfall since 2021.

The Boston area could get a whopping 20 inches of snow.
