More than a quarter of nation hit with single digit temperatures or below after storm kills at least 3
Tens of millions of Americans are feeling the deep freeze left behind by a deadly weekend winter storm that swept through the Midwest and Northeast. More than a quarter of the country woke up to temperatures below 10 degrees Monday, reports CBS News correspondent Omar Villafranca from Killington, Vermont, where the wind chill was minus-31 degrees.
At least 3 deaths are blamed on the severe weather.
The storm also caused headaches for millions of air travelers across the U. S., with thousands of flight cancellations and delays.
Upstate New York got as much as 20 inches of snow. Parts of Ohio and Pennsylvania got up to 18 inches.
The storm buried parts of the Northeast in snow and ice. The Hudson River froze over in upstate New York.
People in Glens Falls, New York, near the Vermont border, spent Sunday digging out from more than a foot-and-a-half of snow, and plows could barely keep up with whiteout conditions on Interstate 87.
