Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves confirmed Monday morning that two deaths have been reported due to the winter storm that swept through the state leaving thousands without power and numerous roadways impassable due to downed trees and utility lines.

The committee also passed measures to explore future school district consolidations, restrict the use of cellphones in schools, and have civics taught in the classroom, among other bills.

An electric crew begins working to restore power in the heavily hit Avenue of Pines subdivision just after noon Monday.
Winter Storm Fern’s crippling ice left most of Grenada County in the dark, coating trees, limbs and power lines and triggering widespread power outages that crews were still working to fix Monday afternoon.
At the height of the storm, 7,850 of 11,457 tracked meters in Grenada County – about 68.52 percent – were without electricity, according to local outage figures. Much of the county awoke Sunday to streets littered with fallen limbs, sagging lines and transformers popping in the freezing rain.
