A major winter storm that has dumped freezing rain and snow in the US southwest has killed at least 13 people in five states, US media reported.
The storm is expected to continue east over the next several days, just as tens of millions of travelers are expected to hit the road or take to the skies ahead of the US Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday.
Images from the storm-hit region showed thick layers of ice on sidewalks and icicles dripping off leaves.
The storm is forecast to bring substantial snow to the Appalachian mountains and New England, in the northeast, by Wednesday, which is one of the biggest US travel days of the year, according to meteorologists at Accuweather.com.
Further south, heavy rain could also hinder both road and air travel, they said.
