Jan 27 – At least 38 people across 14 states had died as of Tuesday from a powerful winter storm that left much of the central and eastern U.S. gripped by snow, ice, and below-freezing temperatures, according to local officials and news reports.
The storm started to develop on Friday and dumped snow across a large region over the weekend. The snow snarled road traffic and led to widespread flight cancellations and power outages before subsiding Monday, leaving behind bitter cold that is expected to linger.
