Stranded vehicles littered roadsides Monday as several inches of snow and sleet coated Atlanta and other parts of the South, freezing the morning commute in many areas and canceling thousands of flights at the world's busiest airport.

Sleet, ice and several inches of snow - as much as 9 inches in some places - blanketed states from Louisiana to the Carolinas mostly unaccustomed to arctic weather and caused at least three deaths and left thousands without power. It also hit a part of the country where most major cities have only a handful of snow plows, if any at all.

Heavy snow was creeping into South Carolina on Monday morning, but forecasters warned that treacherous travel conditions in much of Georgia could last until Tuesday as below-freezing temperatures turn plowed slush into ice. Across the Southeast, more than 2,000 flights had been canceled - affecting passengers as far away as Scandinavia.

In Atlanta, under three to four inches of snow and ice, state officials were forced to move Monday's inauguration of newly elected Gov. Nathan Deal from the state Capitol steps inside to House chamber. The inaugural gala was scrapped to keep supporters off treacherous roads.
