Snow and freezing rain in Paris forces the Eiffel tower to close
The Eiffel Tower was forced to close Friday and Saturday as snow and freezing rain hit Paris. The company that manages the famous structure said the Eiffel Tower would be closed to “ensure the security of visitors,” the Associated Press reported. The weather was also trapping drivers on the road, leading Paris officials to ask people to stay off the roads. Workers have been working on de-icing the Eiffel Tower by carefully using hand shovels. The ice has to be manually removed because ice can damage the metal and elevators, AP noted. Fortunately, tourists in the city didn’t let the snow keep them from having a good time. Some opted to snowboard and enjoy the wintry weather, especially the white layer of snow covering the city, according to the AP. … [Read more...] about Snow and freezing rain in Paris forces the Eiffel tower to close
The Latest: Electric grid manager asks customers to conserve
ATLANTA — The Latest on wintry weather in the South and East Coast (all times local): 9:45 p.m. A regional electricity grid manager is asking customers in most of Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi and a slice of eastern Texas to reduce their power usage Thursday morning, saying electrical demand driven by frigid cold could exceed available capacity.

If supply can't meet demand, local utilities would have to resort to rolling blackouts. Entergy advises people to lower thermostat settings, delay laundry, dishwashing and bathing, and prevent leaks of cold air. The New Orleans-based utility says customers who are older or in poor health need not comply.

Snow and ice coat South, closing freeways, runways, schools
ATLANTA (AP) — Winter weather turned travel treacherous across the South, shutting down interstates in Louisiana, causing highway crashes in Kentucky and closing airport runways in Texas as snow turned the red clay white and prompted schools to close across the region. Snow was falling Tuesday afternoon in a wide band that stretched from southeast Texas all the way to western Massachusetts. What looked like about 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) of snow covered the hood of Glenn Springfield's truck when he went outside Tuesday morning in northeast Louisiana, he said. Springfield, a spokesman for the Ouachita Parish Sheriff's Office, said the worst highway conditions were about 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of him — but the snow was heading east. "We're just advising people that if you don't have to work, stay home," Springfield said. Dangerous wind chills prompted school systems to close Tuesday across Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, … [Read more...] about Snow and ice coat South, closing freeways, runways, schools
