In Idaho, there was concern about the prospect of warm chinook winds, which could thaw the state's flood-high but now frozen rivers. Boise, Idaho, wedged in a valley, had half a foot of snow and subzero temperatures, but the most worrisome weather anomaly was a fetid "inversion layer" of smog that blanketed the city. Low temperatures and a dearth of forest forage, Utah wildlife officials say, accounted for the unusual number of deer that were seen roaming cold and hungry through the streets of Salt...
...colder, windier and snowier across a wider swath than anyone could remember, but the harshness seemed to clamp down and stay. On Wednesday a new round of snowstorms rose in Arizona and New Mexico, moved east into Texas and covered the Waco area with up to a foot of snow.

Charles Early and Diane Kelley, together with Douglas, Judy and one-year-old Benjamin Jackson, went on a joyride in a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Careering over the snow-covered countryside, the truck plunged into an ice-covered pond. The adults drowned immediately.
