In the US, crews were working overtime to clear up
after a huge storm hit parts of the Midwest at
the weekend.
Among the worst-hit areas was Ohio, with the capita,
Columbus, seeing a record 20 inches (50cm) of snow.
Four people were reported to have died in Ohio
while shovelling snow.
Another person was said to have died in a traffic

The central United States and parts of Canada
have suffered one of their worst seasons
of winter weather in years.
In Canada, air traffic via Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa
was disrupted by the same storm system that hit Ohio.
Over the weekend, blizzards and high winds swept
over Ontario and Quebec, temporarily knocking out
electricity to some 80,000 homes and businesses.
Road and air transport was severely disrupted.
By Sunday, the storm was moving into Canada's
Atlantic region.
A young boy was reported to have died in New Brunswick,
which saw up to 40cm of snow.
"As soon as the snow from one storm turns brown,
more snow arrives," Environment Canada meteorologist
Guy Roussel told the Globe and Mail newspaper.
"People in New Brunswick are fed up with winter.
They're buried in snow.
They're just waiting for spring."
Forecasters said the storm, which was at its fiercest
over Ontario and Quebec,
was gradually losing strength.
