There are some big weather stories happening over the next few days with some of the coldest air in years arriving across the South and more ice and snow for many regions. 

An ongoing ice storm continues Thursday along a stationary front draped across the Mississippi, Tennessee and Ohio River valleys with accumulating ice on the roads, power lines and trees.  Dangerous travel, power outages and tree damage will be possible.
