Snow and ice blanketed large swaths of the US on Sunday, canceling flights, making driving perilous and reaching into areas as far south as Texas’ Gulf coast, where snow and sleet were expected overnight.
“Typically, we just don’t have quite this much cold air in place that far south,” said Marc Chenard, a meteorologist with the US National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center.
