Deadly Winter Storm Grips U.S., Southeast Braces for Potential Blizzard

A powerful winter storm that swept across a large portion of the United States left at least 65 people dead and the Southeast bracing for a potential blizzard, according to CBS News and ABC News reports. As of Thursday, deaths were attributed to hypothermia, car accidents, snowplow accidents, sledding accidents, and cardiac emergencies linked to shoveling snow, CBS News reported.

The Carolinas, southern Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee were bracing for a potential blizzard this weekend, ABC News reported on Thursday. The storm was expected to begin Friday evening with snow over Appalachia, along the Tennessee-North Carolina border, and western Virginia. On Saturday, the snow was forecast to spread east into eastern Georgia and much of South Carolina, North Carolina, and southern Virginia. The storm could bring powerful winds, which may lead to blizzard conditions with visibility reduced to less than a quarter-mile. While it was still too early to predict exact snow totals, it appeared that the Carolinas and southern Virginia could get 3 to 8 inches of snow, according to ABC News.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said 10 people had been found dead in the cold there, though not all of their causes of death had been confirmed yet, CBS News reported.

Amid the widespread cold, a Kentucky family brought a newborn calf inside their home to protect it from the extreme temperatures, CBS News reported. Macey Sorrell said her husband, Tanner, found the calf struggling in single-digit temperatures on Saturday. Photos posted to social media showed the calf on the couch with the Sorrell family's two children.

In other news, rapper Ice-T defended a lyric change from his 1992 song "Cop Killer" to "ICE Killer" during a Los Angeles concert last year, Fox News reported. The rapper said the lyric change happened during a July show amid heightened federal immigration enforcement in LA and was meant as a protest against federal immigration enforcement.

Meanwhile, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said he would believe White House border czar Tom Homan's signaled drawdown in Operation Metro Surge when he sees it, CBS News reported. "We need Operation Metro Surge to end," Frey told CBS News Thursday afternoon. "It is not about creating safety in Minneapolis. If the goal was to find an antidote to chaos, there would be a very straightforward answer, which is to end Operation Metro Surge, remove the federal agents."
