Ice storm blankets central U S and cuts power
An ice storm blanketed Texas to Missouri sparking blackouts for thousands as the cold wave intensified. At least 26 deaths were blamed on the weather since Sunday while crews worked overnight to restore electricity to customers in Missouri and other states. Power outages affected about 40 000 in the Dallas Fort Worth area at one point with some customers still without power in southwestern Missouri. Schools were closed across the region with nearly 100 in Missouri alone. Temperatures plunged to record lows in Texas and on the northern Plains with Del Rio Texas at 32 and Aberdeen South Dakota at 24 below zero.
