"Devastating Arctic Blast Claims Dozens of Lives Across the US"

TL;DR Summary
Subfreezing conditions and treacherous roadways have led to dozens of deaths across the U.S. due to arctic weather, with Memphis, Tennessee, dealing with broken water pipes causing low water pressure for 700,000 people. Crews are working to fix the issue, and the utility expects most people to have water restored within 24 hours. The cold weather has also caused water issues in other parts of Tennessee, with residents facing multiday water outages and potential bursting pipes. Warmer temperatures are predicted for the coming week, but freezing rain and high wind gusts continue to pose travel hazards in some areas.
