The number of deaths attributed to the storm in the US has now risen to 13, local officials said.

A 17-year-old male in Arkansas died in a car accident while participating in snow day activities on Saturday, the Saline County Sheriff’s Office said.

The Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, Coroner’s Office confirmed three deaths from over the weekend, where individuals were reportedly engaged in snow shovelling or snow clean-up prior to experiencing a medical emergency.

The deceased ranged in age from 60 to 84 years old, according to a release from the coroner’s office.

Of the other nationwide deaths attributed to the storm, two happened in Texas, three in Tennessee, two in Louisiana, one in Kansas and one in Massachusetts, officials in those places said.

In New York, at least five people were found dead outside in freezing temperatures on Saturday. Mayor Zohran Mamdani said their cause of death was yet to be determined. 

As it’s unclear how they died, the five deaths are not included in the Sky News tally of 13 fatalities attributed to the storm so far.
