Arctic Cold, Ice and Snow Sweep US as Death Toll Rises from Severe Winter Weather

Another round of bitter cold is settling on much of the United States, from the central part of the nation into the east. And the death toll from the winter weather rose overnight, while winter warnings are putting millions on high alert.

From coast to coast, around 30 people have lost their lives because of severe winter conditions.

Parts of the Northwest face heavy snow and ice. In Portland, Oregon, three people died after a power line fell onto their car. Authorities believe the victims were electrocuted after they got out of their vehicle. Only a toddler survived the incident.
