More than 50 million people were under winter weather alerts on Monday, January 17, as a massive winter storm continued up the East Coast of the United States.
The storm began slicing through parts of the Southeast on Sunday, dropping freezing rain, ice and snow on cities and states that don't normally face such cold weather challenges. The weather system also spawned tornadoes in Florida.
