More snow fell on the Northeast and hundreds of thousands of people in the South are enduring frigid temperatures without electricity amid freezing rain and ice, the Associated Press (AP) reported Monday.

“A 28-year-old teacher was found dead and covered in snow after leaving a bar in Emporia, Kansas, as temperatures dipped below zero, Emporia police said in a news release after using bloodhounds to find her body,” the AP stated.
