The early winter storms and bitter temperatures have already been blamed for at least eight deaths across three states - including a man in Buffalo, New York, who was found dead in his car, covered in several feet of snow after he crashed into a ditch.
The rest of the country was forced to bundle up again today as temperatures continue to clock in at 15 to 20 degrees below average for this time of year.

It was even colder today in many parts of the country than it was on terrible Tuesday. This means lows of 20 degrees in New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. and single digits across most of the Midwest - including nine degrees in Chicago.
Even the South is experiencing a record-breaking deep-freeze, with temperatures dropping to 31 in Houston, 30 in New Orleans, 28 degrees in the Florida panhandle and 21 in Atlanta.

The bitter cold snap will continue for the rest of the week, with lows in the teens in the Midwest, 20s in the Northeast and mid-30s in the South for Thursday and Friday.
The storm stranded about 150 people in their cars on the New York State Thruway for hours Tuesday night and Wednesday - including the Niagara University women's basketball team.
