Winter storm: Death toll rises as winter storm continues dumping snow across the U.S Heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain are slamming large parts of the U.S. as the dangerously cold weather causes major power outages and travel disruptions.

A number of deaths have been reported nationwide after a major winter storm swept across the U.S. over the weekend. Forecasters said Sunday that winter storm Fern would shift out of the south-central U.S. and intensify across the Northeast, with widespread snow, sleet, and freezing rain set to affect around 190 million people through early Monday.

The U.S. workweek opened with more snow in the Northeast from a colossal winter storm that brought power outages and at least 13 weather-related deaths.

The forecasts had predicted that the storm could be among the worst in a generation to hit the region. By Monday, it was clear that is exactly what happened.

A winter storm warning is still in effect, but the worst is over. Here's how much snow fell in the Fall River area so far.

A winter storm dumped 6 to 10 inches of snow across Maryland, bringing frigid temperatures and freezing rain.

DETROIT - The National Weather Service has now issued a Winter Storm Warning for one county and Winter Weather Advisories for other areas ahead of a massive winter storm that is expected to nick the southern tier of Michigan.

Days after meteorologists began sounding alarms, a massive winter storm system is about to slam much of the United States. Experts are so concerned about how severe this storm will be that the National Weather Service has urged residents to make preparations.
