Snowstorm death toll reaches 18
The massive weekend snowstorm that hit parts of north-east America and Canada was blamed for at least 18 deaths.
The epic storm swept through on Friday and Saturday with 1-3ft of snow that entombed cars and buried driveways. Several people died from carbon monoxide poisoning while sitting in snowed-in vehicles.
Schools remained closed across much of New England and New York and more than 100,000 homes and businesses were still waiting for electricity to come back on. About 650,000 customers have been without power, most of them in Massachusetts.
