On Sunday, millions from New Mexico to the Northeast saw impacts from Winter Storm Fern. Thick layers of ice remain on the ground and power lines, and outages across the South skyrocketed as a result.
The storm has claimed the lives of two men in Louisiana. Officials there confirm they both died of hypothermia.
Another death was reported in Austin, Texas, also from hypothermia.
Heavy snow is blanketed towns from Missouri to New England and will continue to impact the Northeast into early Monday. At least 24 states had declared emergencies, many roads and highways were impassable and a staggering number of flight cancellations remain.
School districts across the country have called off classes on Monday, with the list growing longer by the minute.
