UNISYS Water Vapor Satellite of North And West Hemisphere (click here for 24 hour loop) - There are two additional vortex systems coming across the country. One currently over Idaho and the other south of Alaska.

The chances there are some dead is high with this degree of cold and power loss. There is also going to be a repeat of the event in a short period of time. Everybody better get ready ! People at risk should be staying with family or younger folks to be safe.
