"Storm-Battered South and Northeast US Braces for Brutal Cold Snap"

Brutally cold weather and inclement conditions are expected to persist in the South and Northeast US this weekend, with wind chills making it feel like minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit in some areas. Storms have caused low temperatures, heavy snow, ice storms, freezing rain, and high winds across multiple regions, leading to power outages and water main breaks. Residents in Memphis are urged to boil water, while thousands in Oregon remain without power. The extreme weather has been linked to at least 55 deaths, and a potential thaw isn't expected until next week.
