Severe Cold Weather Stretches From Minnesota to Georgia

  Rigid, and in some cases record-setting, cold air stretched from Minnesota to Georgia on Monday, while another winter storm began to dump snow across the mid-Atlantic before turning up the coast toward a winter-battered Boston.

The latest blast of severe weather led to the cancellation of more than 2,300 flights Monday and more than 3,000 delays, according to flight-tracking site FlightAware. Weather-related traffic accidents led to two deaths in Ohio and one in upstate New York. A driver in Kansas was killed when his car slid on ice and was struck by an Amtrak train.

A separate storm Sunday had already dumped more than 2 feet of snow amid blizzard conditions on the Boston region. The area has seen four major storms over the past month, and once again Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker urged residents to stay off roadways.
