NEW YORK, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- A powerful winter storm that dumped heavy snow and glazed roads with ice across much of Texas and Oklahoma lumbered eastward into southern U.S. states on Friday, prompting governors to declare states of emergency and shuttering schools across the region.
Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders mobilized the National Guard to help stranded motorists. School was canceled for millions of children across a wide tract of southern states from Texas to Georgia and as far east as South Carolina, The Associated Press reported.
