CALIFORNIA
Four homeless people have died of hypothermia in the San Francisco Bay Area since last week, authorities said.
One victim was found dead Nov. 28, and the other deaths were discovered in the last two days, Santa Clara County sheriff's Lt. Dave Lera said Friday. Lera said three of the victims died at homeless encampments in San Jose, while a fourth died in a garage "with the door opened."
Temperatures in San Jose fell to 30 degrees Friday morning, breaking the record low of 32 degrees for that date, which was set in 1904.
TEXAS
Traffic was at a standstill for several hours at a time on ice-laden stretches of Interstate 35 in North Texas. Officials with the Texas Department of Transportation said "several miles" of the interstate had been backed up for 24 hours.
More than 117,000 electric customers in the Dallas-Fort Worth area were without power Saturday morning.
More than 350 departing flights from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport had been cancelled on Saturday morning. About 3,330 passengers stayed the night in airport terminals.
Temperatures were forecast to stay below freezing through the weekend, meaning residents may still have to contend with icy roads.
MINNESOTA
Some cities in Minnesota canceled weekend parades because of the bitter cold.
Highs Saturday were forecast to range from 5 to 10 below in northern Minnesota to around 5 above in the far southeast. St. Cloud's Winter Nights and Lights Parade and Santa Fun Run were canceled because of the dangerously cold temperatures in the forecast.
