Snow is increasing across the state late Thursday night and will continue through Friday morning with a solid accumulation.

Many people in Decatur County met the historic snowfall with excitement while a family in Fowlstown, Georgia grieved the loss of a loved one after the winter storm.

Firefighters made progress on the more than 10,000-acre Hughes Fire Thursday, which sent thousands fleeing after sparking near the Los Angeles County community of Castaic a day earlier.
