At least 25 people died in Tennessee, and 16 in Oregon, where a state of emergency is still in effect.

Deaths were also recorded in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Mississippi, Washington, New York.

Tens of thousands of people remained without electricity, including 10,000 residents in Oregon, 8,000 in North Carolina, 7,000 in California and 4,300 in Kentucky.

Last week in Portland, three people were electrocuted when a power line fell on their car due to high winds.

Five people died in Seattle over four days due to winter conditions, most of them homeless.

Meteorologists predict that the weather problems will last until the middle of the week, the BBC reports.
