A massive cold wave is battering the United States.
Grounding flights and leaving trails of destruction behind in the country's northeast.
Ro Aram has the updates on the force of nature that continues to take lives.
The blizzard has been gripping the country's east coast and even as far down as Florida over the past few days and it has now moved northward.
The so-called "bomb cyclone" is bringing blinding snow and hurricane force winds that are clocking more than 110 kilometers an hour in some parts.
Weather forecasters say Boston could get up to 45 centimeters of snow, while New York is bracing for more than 30.
But there are some who aren't too impressed with the winter storm.

"I think it would be more windy and way colder. I picture Day After Tomorrow, this is definitely not Day After Tomorrow - this is more day after Christmas."
It has cut power for tens of thousands of people, forced schools and offices to close, and has caused major travel disruptions.
Nearly three and a half thousand flights have been cancelled and several ferry services have also been shut down temporarily.
Though some travelers are frustrated with their flights being delayed or cancelled, others are coming to terms with the unavoidable situation.

"It is frustrating but it is what it is. We don't control mother nature so you just live with it and let it take its course."
The winter storm is expected to continue into the weekend and blizzard warnings are in effect from Virginia all the way to Maine.
States of emergency have also been declared for several states along the storm's path.
Forecasters expect wind chills to fall to as much as minus 40 degrees, and 17 cold-related deaths have so far been reported.
