"US Braces for Deadly Winter Storms on Both Coasts"

Winter storms are causing chaos on both the East and West coasts, with New York City expecting 3 to 5 inches of snow, and Oregon declaring a statewide emergency due to severe impacts from freezing rain. The storms have caused power outages, traffic disruptions, and tragic deaths, including three people electrocuted in Portland, Oregon. Tennessee has also been hit hard, with at least 14 deaths attributed to the storm, and Mississippi's capital city facing low water pressure. The extreme cold weather has led to oil spills in North Dakota and deaths from exposure in Washington state.
