Several people have been injured in Oklahoma following a horrific pile-up involving multiple vehicles on a snow-covered highway during a 'dangerous' winter storm. Winter weather conditions are affecting large portions of the U.S., but it is rare for them to extend so far south, Chenard said. The airline said the storm was also affecting their flights across the region, with operations reduced and canceled at airports across Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas. A winter weather advisory is currently in place until 10pm, with two more inches forecasted to have fallen by Sunday's end. Nighttime temperatures could dip as low as minus-7, with wind chills potentially dropping to minus-28, the weather service reported.
