More than 30 have died across a dozen states as deep snow and ice halted traffic, canceled flights and closed schools
Many in the US faced another night of below-freezing temperatures and no electricity after a deadly, colossal winter storm heaped more snow on the north-east on Monday and kept parts of the south coated in ice.
More than 30 deaths were registered in more than a dozen states afflicted with severe cold, according to reports. There were still about 550,000 power outages in the nation on Tuesday morning, according to poweroutage.us. Most of the outages were in the south, where weekend blasts of freezing rain caused tree limbs and power lines to snap, inflicting crippling outages on northern Mississippi and parts of Tennessee. Officials warned that it could take days for power to be restored.
