Sarah Riley, Knoxville News Sentinel

East Tennessee schools are starting to announce they will be closed Jan. 22 because many roads are still covered in snow and ice.

Many East Tennessee schools have been closed since Jan. 12, first for wind, then for the snowstorm early last week, and now because roads are still frozen over.

The storm has crippled the state. The Tennessee Department of Health confirmed this weekend 25 people from across the state died as a result of the storms.
