A freeze-up following the snow in the South has the potential to keep roads slippery into early next week. Temperatures will plummet in the wake of the storm at night. Meanwhile, rain and thunder- storms are forecast over the Florida Peninsula for a time, while spotty snow and lake-effect snow are in store for the Upper Midwest to upstate New York. Most areas from the Mississippi River to the Rockies can expect a cold, dry day.

Tilikum the orca has died after more than two decades at Sea- World Orlando, where he gained notoriety for killing a trainer in 2010 and was later profiled in a documen- tary that helped sway popu- lar opinion against keeping killer whales in captivity. He will not be replaced. He was the first of Sea- World's orcas to die since the company announced the end of its orca breeding program in March 2016. In a statement announc- ing Tilikum's death early Friday, SeaWorld officials said he had serious health issues including a persistent and complicated bacterial lung infection. Tilikum was estimated to be 36 years old. A necropsy will determine the cause of death. The 2010 death of Sea- World trainer Dawn Bran- cheau during a perfor- mance with Tilikum after a "Dine with Shamu" show shocked the public and changed the future of or- cas at SeaWorld parks. Brancheau was interact- ing with Tilikum before a live audience at SeaWorld Orlando when he pulled her from a platform by her arm andheldherunderwater.An autopsy report said Bran- cheau drowned but also suf- fered severe trauma, includ- ing multiple fractures. Former SeaWorld orca trainer John Hargrove said Tilikum's death offered some closure in the violent death of his friend and col- league. But he said Tilikum also finally found relief. "Tilikum has been sick, very sick, for so long, and after everything he's had to endure, this is to me like he's free," said Hargrove, who left SeaWorld in 2012 and was featured in the documentary "Blackfish." "He lived a tortured ex- istence in captivity. I think all the whales do, but if you had to pinpoint one of them, hands down I would say Tilikum." Animal rights advocates who want orcas and other marine mammals at Sea- World parks released into seapensorcoastalsanctuar- ies said Tilikum was snared in a business model that led only to tragedy. Lisa Lange, senior vice president for the group People for the Ethical TreatmentofAnimals,urged SeaWorld to release its re- maining orcas and marine mammals to "spend the rest of their lives in as natural a setting as possible." SeaWorld supporters found something worth- while in Tilikum's time at the park. "His story is a compli- cated one, but I also think he represented his species well," said Grey Stafford, president of the Interna- tional Marine Trainers' As- sociation. He's also a former SeaWorld employee, though he never worked with Tili- kum. "In retrospect, there are a lot positives to say." SeaWorld President and CEO Joel Manby said, "Tili- kum had, and will continue to have, a special place in the hearts of the SeaWorld family, as well as the mil- lions of people all over the world that he inspired." Tilikum had been Sea- World's most prolific male orca, siring 14 calves since his arrival at the park about 25 years ago. He was no- ticeable for his size at more than 22 feet and 11,800 pounds. He was born off the wa- ters of Iceland and brought to Sealand of the Pacific in Canada after being cap- tured. While at Sealand in 1992, Tilikum and two fe- male orcas were responsible for the death of a part-time trainer who fell into their pool and was submerged by them. Tilikum was moved to SeaWorld Orlando a short time later, and Sealand later closed. SeaWorld's decision to end the breeding program and phase out the theme parks' traditional orca per- formances came three years after the release of the doc- umentary, "Blackfish," which chronicled Tilikum's life and Brancheau's death. Her death was not the only one linked to Tilikum at SeaWorld. In 1999, a na- ked man who had eluded security and sneaked into SeaWorld at night was found dead the next morn- ing draped over Tilikum in a breeding tank in the back of Shamu Stadium. "Blackfish" argued that killer whales in captivity become more aggressive toward humans and each other. Because of it, several entertainers pulled out of planned performances at SeaWorld parks and animal rights activists increased their demonstrations out- side the parks. SeaWorld attendance dipped, the company faced falling profits and South- west Airlines ended its 25- year relationship with the theme park company. Gabriela Cowperthaite, who directed "Blackfish," said in an email that it's time to focus on other whales in captivity. "He lived a horrible life, he caused unspeakable pain, so at least his chapter is over," she said. OBITUARY Tilikum, orca that killed trainer, dies at SeaWorld Orlando 25yearsprofessional experience.
