A huge snowstorm hit northeast North Carolina, southern Virginia, South Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia over the weekend. According to the Washington Post, there have been at least two confirmed deaths, thousands of power outages, and hundreds of crashes that resulted from the storm. North Carolina and Virginia were hit the hardest; both states’ governors declared states of emergency.

According to the Washington Post, between Saturday and Sunday, 11.1 inches of snow piled up in Asheville, N.C., its third-biggest December snow event on record, and seven inches fell in Raleigh, N.C., on Sunday, the most to fall during the month in a single day since 1958 and tied for third most on record. Parts of southern Virginia, like Roanoke and Blacksburg, saw about a foot or more of snow.
