370,000 without power in snow-ravaged US region
Print Edition
More than 370,000 homes and businesses were still without power yesterday morning in parts of central and northeastern United States after a weekend ice and snow storm rolled across the region.
More than 7,000 flights were behind schedule by Monday night, many of those in New York, Washington and Chicago as people struggled to travel before Christmas.
At least 11 people in the US have been killed in the storm.
In Canada, police said two people in Ontario are dead from carbon monoxide poisoning after using a gas generator to heat their blacked-out home northeast of Toronto.
In Toronto alone on Monday night, 11 people were taken to hospitals with signs of carbon monoxide poisoning, officials revealed.
The region was under a cold alert, with temperatures expected to be well below freezing yesterday.
