US still faces freezing temperatures and power outages amid deadly winter storm

A deadly winter storm has left the United States grappling with freezing temperatures and widespread power outages. As of Tuesday morning, over 30 deaths have been reported across more than a dozen states due to the severe cold, snow, and ice. Approximately 550,000 people remain without power, primarily in the South, where freezing rain caused significant damage to power lines and trees. The storm has disrupted travel, leading to flight cancellations and school closures, particularly in the Northeast, which received additional snowfall on Monday. Officials warn that power restoration efforts could take several days in some areas.
