(MENAFN) Following a big winter storm that dumped several inches of snow on Saturday, millions of people in the South are digging out and coping with significant closures.
Over the past few days, a number of Southern cities have seen their biggest snowfall in years, with many cities recording record totals.
According to records, Memphis, Tennessee, received 7.5 inches of snow on Friday, setting a record for the day and the most snowfall the city has experienced in a single day in the previous 40 years.
The storm dumped up to 14 inches of snow on Arkansas, up to a foot in Oklahoma, up to 10 inches in areas of Texas, and even about 5 inches in northern Alabama.
The remnants of the weather system are giving many people headaches, despite the fact that it is going north and east.
