Deep Freeze

Frigid weather continues to grip the eastern half of the country.

The deep freeze gripping most of the country continues its hold, causing accidents and pile-ups on the roads. Parts of the northeast saw arctic blasts of snow and sleet, right as many people were back on the roads after the new year’s holiday. Outside Buffalo, New York, heavy snow and white-out conditions caused a massive pile-up on Interstate-90. Icy roads almost put a Dallas-area police officer in the hospital after he was nearly hit by a car sliding on the slippery road. Winter storm warnings have even been issued for parts of northern Florida, the first in nearly four years. Forecasters say the cold weather is on tap for the near-future.
