NBC News reported that the death toll from the severe winter storm that battered large parts of the United States has risen to 21, as hundreds of thousands of homes remain without power and thousands of flights continue to be canceled.
The heavy snow that fell over the weekend began moving toward the coast today, but more than 200 million people remain under extreme cold warnings, including in nearly every state east of the Rocky Mountains and beyond New England.
The network reported that at least 21 people have died due to the severe weather, including three in Pennsylvania, three in Tennessee, three in Louisiana, two in Arkansas, two in Texas, two in Mississippi, one in Ohio, one in Kansas, one in South Carolina, one in Kentucky, one in New Jersey, and one in Massachusetts, according to local officials.
