WEST MEMPHIS, Ark. -- The winter storm's impact is being felt across the region, with snow-covered roads and icy bridges making travel extremely dangerous. The I-40 bridge, one of the most critical routes in the region, was a concern for some but snow plow crews are doing their best to keep it clear. However, thousands of travelers are still being disrupted, including one family from Blytheville who's trying to escape the weather.
