Washington [US]: The Arctic blast and the winter storm that tore down the power lines across the United States on Christmas Eve left more than 3,15,000 homes and businesses without electricity and at least 22 people killed.
All kinds of transportation - planes, trains, and vehicles - were disrupted due to the storm this holiday weekend, closing hundreds of miles of road and air travel cancellations. As bone-chilling air continues to grip the US, the storm still pummels parts of the Upper Midwest and interior Northeast with heavy snow and blizzard conditions.
