Arctic Blast

While we strive to protect our beloved pets and plants from the elements, there are certain unwelcome guests we might secretly wish won't survive the relentless freeze that currently grips the region.

As a bitter cold snap swept across Louisiana, bringing the coldest temperatures the region had seen in over a year, a viral TikTok video showcasing a simple winter stunt has captured thousands of people's attention online.

A recent video capturing the icy and snow-covered conditions on I-49 in North Louisiana serves as an important reminder of the importance of heeding state officials' advice to avoid traveling during icy or snowy conditions. Not only do we have less experience driving in these icy conditions we also do not drive vehicles with the proper snow tires making traveling during this time extremely dangerous.

Most of the outages are in Iberia Parish.
