BUFFALO, N.Y. — A deadly, windy storm that has paralyzed a wide swath of the nation for days left bitter cold behind as it finally made its exit Thursday, with temperatures below freezing in several states and gusts that made it feel as cold as minus 25.

Emergency rooms took in people who had slipped and fallen, overdone shoveling or reached their hands into clogged snowblowers. Tow trucks freed drivers from the sides of icy roads and everyday residents simply struggled to get around in the frigid winds.

Aileen Azares, 42, of Dallas spent part of the day taking photos in Chicago’s Millennium Park, where sculptures sported snow hats and icicle beards. Azares wore a pink scarf but was still cold.

"Right now my ears are hurting," Azares said.

The days-old storm made its first punch in the West before plowing across two-thirds of the country with heavy snow, icy winds, and even lightning and thunder before preparing to blow out to sea off Maine.

<b<At least 17 people have died in the meandering storm, including a man found Wednesday outside his pickup in central Iowa and a North Carolina driver killed when a tree was blown onto his pickup.
