Dont you just hate it when global warming goes DOWN South? Last Remains, So. Marylandutherners warned of icy mess in days ahead Jan 28th 2014 5:49AM Share 273248147 . ATLANTA (AP) - A blast of freezing precipitation expected to arrive Tuesday could scatter snow and ice across the Deep South, prompting officials from New Orleans to North Carolina to ready road crews and close some schools. Popular warm-weather tourist destinations including Charleston, S.C., Savannah, Ga., Pensacola, Fla., and New Orleans were expecting ice and even snow - both rare occurrences in places that seldom even see prolonged sub-freezing temperatures. In coastal Charleston, for instance, it was a balmy 62 degrees Monday. But the approaching weather led the College of Charleston to cancel classes Tuesday as a precautionary measure. There was a forecast of rain, and sleet in the late afternoon, with the first snow expected Wednesday morning. Much of Georgia was placed under a winter storm watch for Tuesday and Wednesday. While some areas could see as much as 3 inches of snow, the bigger concern with plummeting temperatures was ice.
