Dropping temperatures replace falling snow across much of the country
Washington, DC, United States (AHN) – Bone chilling cold settled onto America’s snow-covered heartland as the massive winter storm continued moving out of the country and into Canada on Thursday. However, it was still dumping snow in some areas.
National weather forecasts called for more snow Thursday in Maine and New Hampshire, along with snow, freezing rain and sleet across southern states from Texas to Alabama.
The storm has already covered 30 states with snow, freezing rain and sleet, dumping almost 2 feet of snow in some parts of the U.S.
Residents in dozens of snowy states from Texas to Wisconsin woke Thursday to cold temperatures, including Chicagoans who were digging out from under 20 inches of snow in zero degree temperatures. Wisconsin is also forecast to have a wind chill value of 20 to 25 degrees below zero overnight.
At least 10 people across the country died of storm-related causes, officials said.
Along with the cold temperatures, many residents found themselves coping with power outages.
