This weekend's monster winter storm has been dubbed 'the worst in a lifetime' by meteorologists across the US. He warned that the Delta region in Southeast Arkansas and western and northern Mississippi face an ice storm so extreme that it could knock out heat and electricity for up to two weeks in certain areas. And if they don't have that, then staying in their house is not a safe, viable option. 'If you're younger than 40 years old, then you may be experiencing the worst winter weather of your lifetime depending upon where you are over the next 10-14 days,' Maue said in a social media post. While winter storms do hit the South, the cold weather typically doesn't last long, with snow and ice melting quickly.
