The death toll from last week’s historic winter storm Elliot is on the rise with 62 confirmed dead as a result of the Arctic storm that swept most of the nation.
The pre-Christmas storm dumped 43 inches of snow in New York and killed at least 27 in that state alone, as of Dec. 26’s report by USA Today. Last week’s storm is being called one of the worst weather-related events in the region’s history.
