(NASHVILLE, TN.) – Southeast Indiana isn’t the only place dealing with snow and bitter cold temperatures. 

At least 24 states have declared emergencies as the winter storm stretches from New Mexico to the Carolinas and up into the Northeast. 

While heavy snow blankets our region and the northern states, parts of the south are experiencing a damaging ice storm. 

As of 9 a.m. Sunday, there are more than 700,000 power outages nationwide with the majority in Texas, Tennessee, Louisiana and Mississippi. 

Sunday is bringing more snow, sleet and freezing rain to the South as the storm creeps up into New England where it could drop 24 inches of snow in the Boston area. 

Extreme cold temperatures are affecting many of the states as well. 

A Cold Weather Advisory has been issued for Southeast Indiana as wind chills as low as around 15 below zero expected Monday.
