Travel may become extremely dangerous in some areas, and trees and power lines may come crashing down as the ice buildup continues.
"This is round after round after round of dangerous ice that will be disrupting travel in a large part of the south-central United States," AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Porter said.

January 31, 2023 1:34 PM CSTWe are currently iced in. There's a difference between driving on snow and driving on ice. Ice is treacherous. We started out with a freezing rain yesterday that formed a complete glaze on the streets, then the sleet followed. Sleet is expected through Thursday morning. Wishing everyone in this storms path safety and warmth. Hope your power stays on. We are grateful for every hour we have today already where we have power. It's 26F, very cold.We are currently iced in. There's a difference between driving on snow and driving on ice. Ice is treacherous.
