The United States endured ongoing subzero temperatures and extreme cold warnings Monday as a massive winter storm that brought snow, sleet, and freezing rain over much of the eastern half of the country took the lives of at least 29 people and left hundreds of thousands without electricity.

The storm began impacting the South late last week and moved into the Northeast over the weekend. It created dangerous conditions over an approximately 1,300-mile span.
