At least 22 people have lost their lives due to the ongoing winter storm that has gripped much of the United States. In Texas, a teenager died after being pulled on a sled by a teenage boy who was driving his car when they struck a curb and then a tree.
In Austin, Texas, another victim was found dead in an abandoned gas station due to apparent hypothermia. In Arkansas, a 17-year-old boy perished after being pulled by an ATV in the snow when he struck a tree.
The storm has also claimed the lives of three individuals in Pennsylvania who died while removing snow. The coroner warned that people with pre-existing medical conditions should exercise caution when shoveling snow.
In New York City, at least five people lost their lives, while on Long Island, a retired police officer died after shoveling snow. In Verona, New Jersey, another man was found dead with a shovel in his hand.
A woman's life was also cut short after she was struck by a snow plow in a parking lot in Massachusetts.
Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Kansas have reported three, two, two, and one deaths, respectively, due to the storm.

. I mean, come on, kids shouldn't be pulled around like sleds by a driver! That's just asking for trouble 
. And what about all these people shoveling snow without even taking care of themselves? The coroner is right, pre-existing conditions can be super tricky in this kind of situation... we gotta look out for each other, folks 
. I'm literally praying that everyone stays safe out there, especially those who are struggling with the cold and the weight of the snow. It's just so much more than we need right now 
... it's just not right when people's lives are cut short like that. I mean, can't we just stay inside and enjoy a warm cup of coffee or something? 
But seriously, these deaths are a harsh reminder of how unpredictable nature can be and the importance of being careful in extreme weather conditions.
... it's just not fair that they have to deal with this kind of stress on top of everything else. And what's with the poor guy who got struck by a snow plow? That's just ridiculous 
.
22 lives lost already? That's just heartbreaking. I feel for all those families who've lost loved ones. It's so sad when something as beautiful as a snowfall turns into a deadly trap due to accidents or hypothermia. 
it's like, crazy how people can lose their lives just shoveling snow or playing in the sleds. It's just heartbreaking thinking about all those families who have to deal with this right now. And I know some of these places have awesome emergency services and stuff, but still... it's like, come on folks! Be careful out there! Wear some warm clothes, bundle up, don't try to tackle too much at once... you know? The Platform Loyalist can just imagine how hard it must be for the families who are dealing with this loss
