COLUMBIA, South Carolina (AP) -- Much of the Northeast was under a winter storm warning Friday as freezing rain, sleet and snow made roadways dangerous.
A National Weather Service advisory warned that the conditions "will make travel very hazardous or impossible."
Several more inches of snow could be added to the accumulations already on the ground in the Northeast, forecasters said.
In the Southeast, a blast of freezing rain across Georgia and the Carolinas closed schools, snarled traffic and cut power to more than 450,000 customers Thursday. At least one death was blamed on the storm: A man killed when an ice-laden tree crashed through his house.
