A fresh winter storm pounded large parts of the U.S. with snow, freezing rain and extreme temperatures Thursday, as hundreds of thousands of Americans remained without power and millions of Texans were under a boil-water notice.
More than 350,000 customers in Texas still had no power as they waited out ice-cold weather, according to data from poweroutage.us. While many had been without electricity for days, over two million customers had their power restored since Wednesday and the Electric Reliability Council of Texas said it had made significant progress.
