Massive storm: Stranded cars in Chicago (AFP : Scott Olson )
Bitterly cold temperatures have set in across the United States following a massive storm which dumped snow, ice and sleet over a 3,000-kilometre stretch from Texas to Maine.
The storm - one of the largest since the 1950s - killed dozens and affected around 100 million people.
Blizzard, winter storm, freezing rain and wind chill warnings were issued for more than 30 of the 50 US states.
States of emergency were declared in Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and Oklahoma, and the National Guard was called out to help rescue stranded motorists.
