ANNAPOLIS, Md.—The next round of bitter cold was set to envelop the southern United States on Tuesday, after the first significant winter storm of the year blasted a huge swath of the country with ice, snow, and wind.
The immense storm system brought disruption even to areas of the country that usually escape winter’s wrath, downing trees in some Southern states, threatening a freeze in Florida, and causing people in Dallas to dip deep into their wardrobes for hats and gloves.
