America is still gripped by the cold.

Approximately 240 million people have been warned about freezing weather and snowstorms in the United States.

AP reported that approximately 240 million people were warned about freezing weather with sharply falling temperatures and continuing snowstorms across the United States on January 31st. The winter snowstorm last weekend left tens of thousands of homes and businesses without power, disrupted traffic, toppled trees, and claimed more than 100 lives.

The lowest temperature recorded in West Virginia on the morning of January 31st was -33 degrees Celsius, according to Bob Oravesc, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in College Park, Maryland.

"Some areas south of the Appalachian Mountains, and the states of Carolina and Georgia could see 15 to 25 centimeters of snowfall. Whenever there's a cold or extremely cold weather warning, being outdoors is dangerous and could lead to frostbite," Oravac said.

In Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, 15 cm of snow is expected. Subfreezing weather is forecast to continue into February, with heavy snowfall across the Carolinas, Virginia, and northeastern Georgia this weekend, including up to 30 cm in some areas of North Carolina. Temperatures in Nashville, Tennessee, are near -10 degrees Celsius.

According to the power outage tracking website poweroutage.us, more than 127,000 households and businesses were without power, primarily in Mississippi and Tennessee. Of those, as of the morning of January 31st, more than 47,000 households and businesses in Nashville were affected.

Mississippi state officials said the recent blizzard was the worst since 1994. Approximately 80 heating centers were opened, and the National Guard transported supplies to affected residents by truck and helicopter.
