A powerful winter storm continues to wreak havoc in the United States, with a massive rise in traffic accidents being reported, some of them fatal.
The freezing conditions have left many Americans without power and have crippled airports across the country.
The once-in-a-generation winter storm sweeping across the nation has brought a dangerous combination of record-breaking cold, snow, and ice with high winds.
The massive storm has plunged much of the country into a deep freeze, impacting almost every state, with many governors declaring a State of Emergency.
