An unrelenting winter weather pattern – one of the most merciless in years – showed no signs of letting up Tuesday as it left a trail of destruction, power outages and subzero temperatures across dozens of states.
And more foul weather was on the way: Another winter storm with snow and ice was forecast to pummel portions of the South and Midwest on Wednesday before slamming into the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Thursday.
In all, as of late Tuesday, 115 million Americans were in the path of the next storm, all the way from Texas to Massachusetts, the weather service said.
At least 20 people have died as a result of a series of storms that moved from coast to coast over the past few days, including three in a tornado that tore through a seaside North Carolina town late Monday night.
