Winter Strom

At least 25 people have died in western New York's Erie County as a result of a devastating winter storm that left much of the eastern United States in a deep freeze, regional officials said Monday.

A winter storm that could bury parts of the US Middle Atlantic region under nearly 3 feet (90 cm) of snow slammed into Washington on Friday, threatening the nation's capital with record accumulations as it barrelled up the populous East Coast.

A winter storm reaching from Texas to New England closed schools, canceled nearly 3,000 flights and stranded hundreds of drivers overnight in Kentucky, where as much as 21.5 inches (55 cm) of snow fell.

A winter storm stretching from Texas to southern New England and forecast on Wednesday to dump up to a foot (30 cm) of snow on the eastern United States forced schools and local governments to close and grounded almost 1,800 flights.

The execution on Wednesday of a woman in the US state of Georgia was put off for several days because of a winter storm and "associated scheduling issues," authorities said.

A winter storm that froze the U.S. southeast in its tracks pushed north on Thursday, with driving winds and heavy snow snarling travel and closing many schools from Washington to Connecticut, creating havoc for winter-weary parents.
