Storm in the USA / Death toll rises to 7

The death toll from the dangerous winter storm that has hit the US has risen to seven.

Schools and roads across the country have been closed and flights have been canceled, as "life-threatening" conditions stretch from Texas to New England, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).

At least two people died from hypothermia in Louisiana, and other storm-related deaths have been reported in Texas, Tennessee and Kansas.

Widespread heavy snow, hail and freezing rain, which is a dangerous phenomenon where cold raindrops freeze instantly on the surface, could last for days and the storm could affect an estimated 180 million Americans - more than half the population.

"The snow and ice will melt very, very slowly and will not disappear anytime soon, and that will hamper any recovery efforts," Allison Santorelli, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service, told the BBC's US media partner, CBS News./ CNA, translated by BBC
