Winter Storm Remus

To the north, another piece of Remus is bringing snow to parts of the Midwest and will eventually merge with the Southern portion of the storm system.

Snowfall totals up to 4 inches of snow have been reported as of late Wednesday morning in northeast Texas. Shreveport, Louisiana picked up 2 inches of snow in just 2 hours, and some 3-inch snow totals have come in from southern Arkansas. 

Sleet and freezing rain had accumulated as far east as parts of central and northern Mississippi. Despite surface temperatures holding a few degrees above freezing, ice accumulating in trees and power lines have triggered power outages in Madison and Hinds Counties, among other locations.
Low pressure is expected to track from near the Gulf Coast to off the Southeast coast in response to an energetic upper-level system moving across the region. With sufficiently cold air in place, the low will help pull moisture northward across the South, resulting in snow for some locations, and a cold rain for others. At the same time, a disturbance aloft will bring snow to the Midwest, eventually consolidating with the southern side of Remus.
