Octavia has already blanketed parts of a swath from Missouri to Virginia with more than 6 inches of snow. As of 8:30 p.m. on Monday, the top reported snowfall total was 17 inches near Coleman in far eastern Kentucky.A mix of sleet and freezing rain has already slickened roads and triggered power outages in Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Georgia and the Carolinas. For the latest snow and ice totals. Octavia has begun to extend its snowy and icy tentacles across the Appalachians and into parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast – and its path may possibly include New England yet again.Snow, sleet and freezing rain will make travel difficult, and winter storm warnings are still in effect for some 33 million people, down from 46 million earlier Monday.
People in the Southern states are probably not use to receiving a winter storm watch for their area. Mid-Atlantic has seen up to six inches of snow. Significant ice amounts will occur in Northern Georgia and some parts of South Carolina. It is amazing to see weather this bad in mid-February.
