A so-called "bomb cyclone" has hit much of America's Northeast, bringing icy record-breaking low temperatures, grounding thousands of flights, and causing dozens of snow-related deaths.

The drastic drop in temperatures has been going on for weeks now, stretching back to Christmas, with areas in Florida and Texas also being hit by below-zero weather.

Schools and businesses in the winter storm's path have been closed throughout the week, with major power outages and flooding reported across the coastal areas.
