    Winter storm dumps snow on South, blinds motorists

    JELLICO, Tenn. (AP) — As a winter storm has dumped several inches of snow on parts of the South, about 20 vehicles have been involved in crashes along a three-mile stretch of Interstate 75 in northern Tennessee.

    The eight crashes were original reported by Campbell County dispatch as a chain-reaction pileup that involved 10 to 15 vehicles including multiple tractor-trailers and a Greyhound bus. Police said a juvenile was seriously injured.

    Tennessee Highway Patrol Sgt. Stacy Heatherly said the crashes were reported shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday in near "white-out" conditions caused by heavy snowfall and fog. All lanes of Interstate 75 had reopened by early evening.

    The weather service was predicting several inches of snow to fall on parts of Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. The storm system was expected to move off the Mid-Atlantic coast on Sunday night.

      I knew we were going to have a mild winter in NJ, my snow-blower fired right up when I tested it. it's only when we are getting major snow that it dies on me every time.

        Ha!! Me too. Northern Minnesota. We ALWAYS have snow. But this is the year I finally bought both and my first snowblower and snowmobile and what happens?? NO SNOW!! Unbelievable. I swear this whole no snow thing is my fault.

      Why does everyone on here hate someone if they're from a different area or state? I've been to almost every state and find them all beautiful and most people very friendly.

        Jesse: that is a wonderful way to look at your fellow countrymen/compatriots. It also must be a great way to reinforce patriotism in that country of yours.

        I though 2" in Michigan was called well hung!
      • AhhhHaha 3 mths ago
        Two inches in the south (more south than TN) is cause for celebration. We hardly ever see snow and it rarely stays on the ground for more than a few hours, before it melts. Just enough time to have some fun with it and then it's gone. However, we do have billions of mosquitoes. Wanna trade?

        We have billions of mosquitoes in MI too! We get the snow and the mosquitoes.

      I'm in Ohio, and I don't think we've had 5" of snow all winter, and it's been in the 30's and 40's most of the winter. That's weird for Ohio.

      What drives insurance up are the people who can't wait to get to where they want to go and get there on the same time for the trip take they take everyday Instead of driving slow, they have no clue on what snow can do do under their wheels. Most accidents in snow are caused by people that drive SUVs who are misguided and think their vehicial handles different on snow .

      Why is it that the Media trys to make snow a fall out to be an evil happening,that always includes cars crashing. If people used their heads that would not be a problem. The insurance companies will always use some excuse to raise your rates. Snow is a wonderful gift . It helps keep disease from wiping us out and provides nitrogen and water for crops. There is nothing quite a beautiful as pure white snow,you just need to realize you can't drive 80 mph in it.

      It's not normal for the south to get so much snow. The last few years they have been getting it. But the northeast was hit really hard last year. So far here in Michigan not really much at all. Now I probably jinxed myself.

      North, South, who cares, stop hating each other, I am from the North, but chose to live in the south.........guess what, that war ended almost 150 years ago. The south won't rise again, same as the north won't do anything either............why............cause there is no difference anymore, we are ALL one country
