President Joe Biden on Sunday approved an emergency declaration for Texas and multiple governors have declared states of emergency as a winter storm batters the southern United States. Southern states are being pummeled with snow and freezing rain as they endure the coldest temperatures in years, decades and, in at least one case, even a century. Snow is piling in Texas and Oklahoma and is expected to grow heavier later Sunday. State officials have encouraged residents to stay home amid the weather, with Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas all deploying the National Guard to respond to the disaster, according to The Associated Press. The weather led to the cancelation of many flights, including hundreds at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, and multi-vehicle pileups in Texas and Oklahoma. Electric Reliability Council of Texas, the state’s main grid operator, cautioned in a release that it could have to implement an energy emergency alert, leading to rolling power outages across the state due to “record-breaking electric demand.” 00:00 - Clearing snow at DFW International Airport 4:25 - Snow covered highway 9:23 - Frozen fountain 11:07 - Snow covered highway 14:00 - Police helping stranded car 14:25 Utility company vehicle convoy 15:19 - Trucks doing donuts in the snow You can read more here: https://thehill.com/homenews/news/538852-winter-storm-batters-southern-us #TexasFreeze #TexasWinterStorm
