US grapples with ice storm damageNew Hampshire was the worst affected state in the north-east
Power workers have been struggling to restore electricity to hundreds of thousands of homes in the north-eastern US after Friday's ice storms.
Some roads remained unsafe and schools were closed in several states, despite warmer temperatures.
At least four people are thought to have died as a result of the storm, one of the worst in a decade.
Meanwhile people in parts of the Midwest were advised to stay at home amid blizzards and freezing winds.
North Dakota was the worst affected state in the region, with as much as 13in (33cm) of snow recorded in the town of Williston and roads closed across the region.
Extensive damageUtility companies brought in crews from Virginia, Michigan, and from Canada, to help repair power lines damaged by ice after as many as a million people were left without electricity over the weekend. More of the story here:
