Storm in the US, the death toll rises to 30

At least 30 people have died as a severe winter storm swept across much of the United States, with many states facing sub-zero temperatures and power outages.

Roughly two-thirds of the U.S. has been gripped by a bitter cold snap, with areas in the Midwest, South and Northeast hit hard. A new wave of Arctic air is expected to extend freezing temperatures in areas already blanketed in snow and ice.

Areas north of Pittsburgh were blanketed by 20 inches of snow and wind chill temperatures that reached as low as 88 degrees Fahrenheit (31 degrees Celsius) late Monday, according to the National Weather Service. New York City saw its snowiest day in years, with some areas recording up to 15 inches (38 centimeters) of snow.

Weather forecasters warned that another winter storm could hit parts of the East Coast this weekend.

As arctic temperatures continue, the death toll has risen to at least 30. The victims include two people crushed by snowplows in Massachusetts and Ohio, teenagers killed in fatal sledding accidents in Arkansas and Texas, and a woman frozen to death after being found covered in snow after leaving a bar in Kansas. In New York City, officials reported that at least eight people were found dead outside.

Heavy snowfall stretching from Arkansas to New England caused travel disruptions, flight cancellations and school closures.

The country experienced over 12,000 flight delays and cancellations. On Sunday, 45% of flights in the US were canceled, the highest rate since the COVID-19 pandemic, according to aviation analytics firm Cirium.

Hundreds of thousands of people were left without electricity, with more than 560,000 power outages reported on Monday evening, mainly in the south of the country.

Mississippi recorded the worst ice storm in the state since 1994. Officials distributed beds, blankets, bottled water and generators to warning stations in the hardest-hit regions.

Meanwhile, in Nashville, Tennessee, power was restored to thousands of homes and businesses on Monday, though about 146,000 remained without power. Many hotels were sold out overnight as residents scrambled to leave their dark, cold homes.
