Sleet, Snow - Old Man Winter Keeps on Coming

Old man winter just keeps on coming. A mix of sleet, freezing rain, and snow fell from northern Texas, through the Gulf Coast and Southeast.

Up to 10 inches of snow fell in parts of Virginia.

The wintry weather caused tens of thousands of power outages, burst water pipes, and accidents.

In Maine, a snow squall caused a 70-car pileup on I-95 between Newport and Bangor.

Resident Wayne Trafton warned a passenger in his vehicle they were going to crash.

"We were down on probably 25 or 30 miles an hour when I hit the minivan. I just told him to brace yourself and we collided with a minivan that was parked... that had crashed into a pickup truck," Trafton explained.

Remarkably, no one was killed, but more than a dozen people were rushed to the hospital. The northbound lanes of the highway were closed down for five hours.

While Boston still digs out from a record 100 inches of snow this winter, in nearby New Hampshire, Drew Mullins of Petersborough said he's glad he's still alive.

He was raking heavy snow from the roof of his house because he didn't want the roof to collapse. That's when the avalanche came.

"I was thinking about my wife and my daughter and thinking I'm not going out this way," he recalled.

The cascading snow carried Mullins off the roof and buried him in a snow bank. His wife Deanna came to his rescue.

"I tried to dig him out as best I could, you know, with my bare hands," she said.

She finally got him out with help from their daughters.

And a rare experience in the Deep South: enough snow to enjoy sledding down a hill in Alabama.

At CBN headquarters in Virginia Beach, we saw perhaps four inches of snow -- the second significant snowfall in about a week. Schools are closed again and kids here are likely to have more fun this time because it's 'packing snow' -- good for making snowballs and snowmen.

Most people are just trying to make the best of it.
