Snow, sleet, and freezing rain over the greater part of the state was followed by the coldest weather of the winter. There were many auto accidents due to icy streets and highways and many fires caused by overtaxed heating systems. One person died from exposure, one from an auto accident, and six from fires. Six additional deaths from carbon monoxide poisoning occurred, partly attributable to the weather. Schools closed one or more days over most of the state. | |||
