One power company said more than 500,000 homes and businesses could be without power as a major winter storm was bearing down on North and South Carolina and Virginia.
A winter storm that is expected to deliver heavy snow to North Carolina and Virginia on Sunday could knock out power to 500,000 customers, a major utility warned.
The storm system has already struck a broad segment of the South, leaving close to 11 inches of snow in Lubbock, Tex.
On Sunday morning, the National Weather Service said snowfall in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic was likely to continue through Sunday night as part of a “high-impact winter storm.” The Weather Service said the storm would stretch from northeastern Georgia to central Virginia.
