Winter Storm Could Bring Heavy Ice and Days of Freezing Temperatures to North Louisiana
from Mornings with Brian Haldane · host Guaranty Broadcasting Company
A major winter storm is moving toward Louisiana, and state meteorologist Jay Grimes says the northern parishes will take the hardest hit. Areas north of a Natchez-Alexandria-Lufkin line could see half an inch to more than an inch of ice. That amount of ice can cripple roads, power systems, and rural communities. Grimes said temperatures in those areas may stay below freezing for more than 60 hours. A layer of snow could also fall on top of the ice, keeping it from melting and making conditions last even longer.
