US, Canada Hit By Historic Winter StormA massive winter storm has hit the US, bringing record-breaking low temperatures and huge amounts of snow and ice. The deadly storm left hundreds of thousands of people without power, and made travel nearly impossible in many areas. This storm was unusual because it hit over such a large area. The affected region is up to 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) across, and runs from the US-Mexico border all the way into Canada. Many areas canceled school or switched to remote learning.
