Update>>>
Thousands of flights were cancelled as icy chaos gripped the US South on Wednesday in a storm that has killed at least seven people.
The storm slammed a region largely unaccustomed to ice and snow - stretching from Texas through Georgia and into the Carolinas on Tuesday and early Wednesday.
Airlines cancelled thousands of flights at airports from Houston to Atlanta, with about 1500 halted early on Wednesday alone at ATL
Forecasters predicted little relief on Wednesday, with temperatures unlikely to rise much above freezing for long enough to thaw ice-covered roads and bridges, before dipping below freezing again early on Thursday across the Southeast.
Precipitation was expected to ease later in the morning, and the wintry mix of snow, sleet and ice had moved farther to the East Coast on Wednesday from Georgia up through Maryland, where motorists were warned off the roads and schools were being closed or delayed.
As the ice began to clear in Louisiana, some airlines resumed limited service at MSY after about 24 hours of cancelled flights.
Update>>>As of 9:00am EST Limited Runway operation in ATL due to Ice...Expect Arrival and Departure Delays...
