Authorities in Kansas reported several people with minor injuries after storms passed through on Monday. Three people were left with minor injuries in rural Franklin County, about 50 miles southwest of Kansas City.

The town declared a state of emergency Tuesday at 2:00 p.m., citing an increasing level of water on its Gull River which flows directly through the town and more rainy, warmer weather forecasted for the next five to ten days.

"The American people are paying for Donald Trump's illegal war in Iran every time they pull up to the gas pump and every time they try to heat their homes. Because of Trump's reckless war, home heating oil prices have surged 30% in a single week."

There are several things you'll want to keep in your car for winter emergencies, including a first aid kit, blankets, jumper cables, and even an emergency radio. But what about food? You don't want to be sitting there for hours, hungry and freezing cold, with nothing to eat. We talked to a few safety experts, including Dr. Jason Schroder, medical director and co-founder of Craft Body Scan;

So many homes now have high efficiency sealed combustion boilers and furnaces that do not vent out through the chimney at rooftop height. These units typically will have their intake and exhaust going out through the side of the house. These do need to be high enough off the ground to allow for typical snow patterns, but snow drifts due to high winds can pile pretty high, and this next storm is coming with very high winds.

When I arrived in Belgrade on the last day of September, I knew drizzly walks and brisk fall temperatures were in the cards. But on my third day in Serbia, less than two weeks into autumn, the snow started falling-and when I woke up in my cozy mountainside hotel in Zlatibor the next morning, it was piled 10 inches high.

Hizzoner confidently stated that he is ready for round two of the big snowstorm this winter but didn't mince words when it came to the severity of the snowfall expected to coat the Big Apple throughout Sunday and Monday. A blanket of between 18-24 inches has been forecast to fall across the city in all. If it comes to pass as is predicted, this will put this snowfall into the top 10 snowfall events in the history of New York City. That is what we are looking at, Mamdani warned. The bottom line is to stay home and stay safe.

Each is among a growing number of people - at least 10, as of Tuesday - who died after being exposed to the bitter cold that has persisted in New York City since late last Friday. Their causes of death are still under investigation, but some showed signs of having succumbed to hypothermia. Officials said several victims were believed to have been living on the streets. At least six of the fatalities came early Saturday, as the temperature in the city fell to 9 degrees (minus 13 degrees Celsius).

Boston's collective creativity shines brightest when heavy snow blankets the city, leaving residents scrambling for space savers to mark their territory. And needless to say, space savers were out in full force following last weekend's blizzard, from a jubilant chef statue to traffic cones, folding chairs, and even a commode. It's a cutthroat business, after all: those who steal someone else's shoveled-out parking space may run the risk of angry notes, slashed tires, or physical blows.

Torontonians are being told to bundle up and brace for frigid temperatures Thursday night now that the city has been placed under a yellow cold warning. Wind chill values will make it feel like 30 to 35 Thursday night into early Friday morning, Environment Canada said in the warning. "Cover up," the federal weather agency said. "Frostbite can develop within minutes on exposed skin, especially with wind chill."

Right now, forecast models are split. Some keep the storm far enough out to sea to spare New York City from snowfall but others show snow reaching coastal New Jersey and Long Island late Saturday into Sunday. A shift of just 50 to 100 miles in either direction could change everything, from rain versus snow to whether the city sees accumulation at all.

"The current threshold for the City of Boston to declare a cold emergency is one day or more of -10°F or below observed wind chill," Wu said in a statement.
