2 dozen dead in northern US coldBy The Manila Timeshome/News/World/2 dozen dead in northern US coldCHICAGO: The dangerous cold and heavy snow that hobbled the northern US this week has retreated, but not before exacting a human toll: more than two dozen weather-related deaths in eight states and hundreds of injuries, including frostbite, broken bones, heart attacks and carbon monoxide poisoning. Hennepin Healthcare in Minneapolis normally sees around 30 frostbite patients in an entire winter. They also included people with injuries related to drugs and alcohol people who passed out or did not realize they were cold or injured. Others got frostbite on their way to work after being exposed to the cold for a short time, often on their hands, feet, ears and face. The snow that accompanied the cold also caused problems.
