This could bring damaging ice and heavy snow for millions from Texas to the mid-Atlantic states this weekend.
There is a line of mixing, or freezing rain and sleet, that Meteorologists are monitoring closely across the south. This line can move north at times throughout the weekend, impact the actual snow depth, but that can lead to bigger impacts of the weight of ice on power lines and tree branches.

Plan ahead to be in a safe place by the weekend, and keep up with the latest, local forecast.
