(Photo: AFP)WASHINGTON - Iguanas stunned by cold temperatures dropped from trees in usually balmy Florida on Sunday as icy conditions blasted southern US states, dumping nearly a half-meter of snow in some areas and whipping up high winds that caused traffic chaos. The heaviest snows were reported in North Carolina -- a state that rarely sees snow other than in its highest elevations. Videos posted on social media showed the stunned creatures on sidewalks after falling from trees in southern parts of the state. About 158,000 customers remained without power Sunday, mostly in the south, according to poweroutage.us, with Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida and Louisiana hardest hit.
