Many of the dead were found frozen in their cars after being stranded due to the blizzard and whiteout conditions.
At least 50 deaths have been linked to a severe storm that continues to batter the US and Canada.
Of the US deaths, 18 are from the state of New York, where the city of Buffalo has been hit hard by the blizzard, its numbing cold and heavy"lake-effect" snow - the result of frigid air moving over warmer lake waters.The National Weather Service said that nearly four feet of snow fell at Buffalo's airport by Sunday, and that snow was falling at the rate of two to three inches an hour south of the city.
New York governor Kathy Hochul had said during the weekend that many of the state's ambulances and fire trucks were themselves stuck in the snow.
