Storm deaths were reported in the Northeast, the South and the Plains.
A deadly winter storm that brought massive snowfall across the U.S. knocked out power to hundreds of thousands of people in the South and crippled travel in the Northeast.
Wind gusts are reaching 32 mph at New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport, bringing visibility down to one-quarter of a mile.
In Dallas and Jackson, Mississippi, wind gusts are up to 25 mph. These strong winds pose a major threat because they could topple the trees and power lines that are coated in ice.
