A significant winter storm rolled into the southern United States on Friday, covering Texas, Atlanta, southern Oklahoma, and parts of Georgia, among other areas in snowfall. The storm is causing over 3,000 flight cancelations and power outages in Georgia, Texas, and Arkansas. More snow is expected to affect other southern states over the weekend.

Crunchyroll's main in-house dubbing studio is based in Texas and largely sources Texas-based talents. The company shifted to mostly in-person recordings in spring 2022, following the end of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.

The February 13–17, 2021 North American winter storm previously affected the U.S. South, among other parts of the country, and caused mass outages and over 200 deaths in Texas.
