Freezing cold temperatures hit most of the U.S. Monday as New England began digging out of its fourth winter storm in a month, while the mid-Atlantic region and parts of the south were hit with their own blast of snow and ice.
The latest storm has been blamed for two deaths. Boston Mayor Martin J. Walsh said Monday the storm has left one person dead, apparently due to a heart attack while shoveling snow.
The body of an elderly man, who may have frozen to death, was found on the Coney Island boardwalk in Brooklyn, NYPD sources told the New York Post.
Snow swirled sideways in Kentucky and the typically bustling state capital of Frankfort came to frozen halt Monday. Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear urged people to stay home if possible. The state was expecting anywhere from anywhere from 6 to 15 inches of snow by Monday evening.
Forecasters say a snowstorm could bring 6 to 9 inches to parts of Arkansas, Missouri and Tennessee. Freezing rain was forecast for northern Mississippi and 2 to 4 inches of snow and sleet is possible in north Georgia.
