Utility trucks can be seen through ice-covered trees Jan. 28 in Nashville. Interstates 55 and 22 were closed in northern Mississippi after emergency crews with tow trucks and snowplows removed gridlocked vehicles stuck on the icy roads. Hal Ferrell, mayor of Batesville, said Jan. 28 that no one in the city has power and, with roads still slippery with ice, it’s too soon to begin recovery efforts. But forecasters said the biggest threat was the dangerous cold, with subzero wind chills possible in parts of South deal with widespread power outages. On the morning of Jan. 28, he lined up at a nearby gas station to shower and said that propane bottles, canisters and hookups for heaters are hard to come by.
