More than 90 weather-related deaths have been recorded across the US after the country was pummelled by ferocious winter storms for the past week,
BBC reports.
The deaths include at least 25 in Tennessee and 16 in Oregon, which remains under a state of emergency following severe ice storms.
Tens of thousands of people also remain without power across wide swathes of the country.
Icy conditions are expected to ease off in the next few days.
A total of 92 weather-related fatalities have been recorded across the country over the past week, according to a tally maintained by CBS, the BBC's US partner.
While the death toll has been greatest in Tennessee and Oregon, fatalities have also been reported in Mississippi, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington, Kentucky, Wisconsin, New York, New Jersey and elsewhere.
In one incident in Portland, Oregon last Wednesday, three people were electrocuted to death when powerful winds caused a power line to fall and strike the vehicle in which they were travelling. A baby who was in the vehicle survived.
