Airports across the U.S. South, including those in Texas and Louisiana, announced unprecedented closures this morning as a winter storm sweeps the region. Houston and the surrounding areas had reported one to three inches of snow by late morning, and several states have declared emergencies, including Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

Commercial and general aviation flight operations have been shut down across the region. The Lake Charles National Weather Service issued what it called its first-ever blizzard warning for several counties along the Gulf Coast of Louisiana.
