Milwaukee, WI (AHN) - The cold wave stretching from the northern Plains states through New England has resulted in at least seven deaths. Authorities reported that the cold contributed to two deaths in Kentucky, two in Michigan, one each in Ohio and Illinois and one in Maryland.
AP reports that Lt. Eric Burnett, a Montgomery County police spokesman, said Annie Mae Anderson, 81, of Silver Spring, Md., was found dead Monday in a wooded area behind the house she shared with her brother.
Anderson, who suffered from dementia, was found about 12 hours after she was reported missing. She was not wearing a coat and appeared to have died from exposure to the cold.
About 90,000 children in Milwaukee did not have to go to school on Tuesday, and many schools in New York, including the 34,000-student Rochester district, remained closed.
The National Weather Service reported rises in some of the most severely affected areas of country, including Grand Forks, ND, which was 5 below at 7 am Tuesday. On Monday it hit a record low of 31 below zero.
The northern Minnesota town of Hallock, which hit 38 below zero Monday, reported a reading of 9 below Tuesday morning.
However, some regions of the U.S. are still reporting extreme temperatures, such as International Falls, MN, where it was 29 below Tuesday morning.
