Next round of snow begins across winter-weary eastern US, beneficial rain soaks the South

The first of two more rounds of snow is beginning Tuesday across the winter-weary eastern U.S., including parts of the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. While neither storm is expected to pack accumulations approaching last week's historic winter storm, the second of the upcoming two systems will be accompanied by wind gusts that could cause travel delays. Meanwhile, rain is expected across the South on Tuesday, as far north as Tennessee and North Carolina. This rain could help melt lingering ice from last week's devastating and deadly ice storm — power outages remain across pockets of Mississippi and Tennessee.
