Cold wave grips nation as weather toll hits 43 deaths
A historic cold wave spurred record low temps from Montana to New York with freezing rain closing highways from Dallas to Chicago. The toll rose to 43 deaths across 14 states, including a Montana school bus crash victim and a New York man found frozen outside a friend’s home. Rescue workers reported rivers breaking up and hundreds evacuated as temperatures swung wildly, while local firefighters faced frostbite during burns in Maryland.
