Bitter cold grips the eastern US as winter storm deaths rise and power outages linger

Three Texas siblings who died in an icy pond are among several dozen deaths in U.S. states gripped by frigid cold. Crews scrambled Tuesday to repair power outages in the shivering South. Forecasters warned the winter weather is expected to get worse. Brutal cold lingered after a massive storm dumped deep snow across more than 1,300 miles from Arkansas to New England. Freezing temperatures hovered as far south as Tennessee, Arkansas, and North Carolina, with more record lows forecast down into Florida. More than 500,000 homes and businesses remain without power, with over half the outages in Tennessee and Mississippi.
