Deep South braces for another round of snow

Several areas across the Deep South might soon be glazed with another coating of snow.

The National Weather Service says 2 to 4 inches could fall late Sunday and early Monday across southern Tennessee and northeastern Alabama, while 1 inch to 2 inches could fall in parts of northern and central Georgia.

Mountainous portions of Georgia and the Carolinas could get up to 3 inches.

Several cities that are ill-equipped to deal with icy roads and piled snow, including Atlanta, were paralyzed by a snowstorm that dropped several inches of snow on the region Friday and Saturday.

Thousands of flights were canceled at the nation's busiest airport in Atlanta, and icy streets caused hundreds of fender-benders in the region.

As cleanup continues, more snow approaches

We're still digging out from the snow left by our last 2 storms.

Many streets in Philadelphia's neighborhoods remain clogged with snow and pockmarked with ruts in the ice from drivers spinning their wheels trying to get unstuck.

City streets crews are working round-the-clock trying to clear as many streets as possible before the next snow. Overnight, the Action Cam caught up with people on one team as they were working on Frankford Avenue in the Northeast.

With plenty of snow still on the streets, and more expected early this week, Philadelphia officials are stressing the city's snow shoveling laws.

According to city code, within 6 hours after the snow has stopped, a path on all sidewalks must be cleared. That path must be at least 30 inches wide and cleared of snow and ice.

If you live in an apartment building, be sure to check with your landlord about who is responsible for clearing the snow.
