Oh, and icicles too. Icicles everywhere.

These are the scenes captured in photos as deadly winter storms affected states from Texas to New England, blanketing swaths of the country in snow and ice.

Power outages, canceled flights and the dangers of the cold dominated the news as Americans stuck rulers into piles of snow and crews worked hard to clear roads.

Journalists recorded an amazing before and after video in Ohio.

In Massachusetts, a blanket of hazy white snow created a surreal scene.

Victoria Beckham, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell Horner reunited on Saturday, January 24, to celebrate the 50th birthday of the group’s youngest member, Emma Bunton.

“Happy birthday to the most beautiful soul @emmaleebunton. I love you girls so much @gerihalliwellhorner @melaniecmusic xxxxxxx,” Beckham captioned a photo of the four women, not including the fifth member, Mel B. Kennedy.

“The most beautiful night celebrating over 30 years of our @emmaleebunton friendship. I love you all more than ever 💖,” Chisholm captioned the post.

January also marked Chisholm’s 52nd birthday.

The reunion comes just days after Beckham’s eldest son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham, infuriated his famous parents following months of tabloid speculation about a family feud.

Fundraisers said the donations, which totaled more than $530,000 as of early afternoon on January 25, are aimed at supporting the “immediate and continuing needs” of the family Preti left behind. Organizer Keith Edwards said Ms Preti’s father had been added as a beneficiary, giving their family direct access to the funds raised.

“Thank you to everyone who donated and helped fundraise. You are the best of America,” Edwards wrote. USA TODAY reached out to GoFundMe and Edwards to confirm whether the fundraiser was confirmed.

Preti, a U.S. citizen and registered nurse who treated veterans, was shot and killed by federal agents after confronting immigration authorities in the Midwestern city. Federal officials claimed Preti had a gun that he intended to use to “kill law enforcement.” Video from bystanders and witnesses submitted to the court does not show Preeti brandishing a weapon as she approaches the agents.

Celebrities including Olivia Rodrigo and Jamie Lee Curtis spoke out on social media in response to a video showing Preti, a veteran ICU nurse, being shot and killed by Border Patrol agents on January 24th.

Rodrigo shared a post on his Instagram Story claiming there is a “murderous federal agency terrorizing American cities.” The singer also wrote, “ICE’s actions are unconscionable, but we are not powerless. Our actions matter. I stand with Minnesota.”

Preti’s killing has sparked outrage and protests in Minnesota, already on edge since 37-year-old Renee Good was shot and killed by ICE agents earlier this month. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said the state’s law enforcement agencies are conducting a “full, fair and transparent” investigation into Preti’s death.

On Instagram, Curtis shared artwork honoring both Pretty and Goode, writing, “They were Americans! Shot by our government!” The “Halloween” star also posted a video of Preeti’s shooting on her Instagram Story with the message, “There’s too much that needs to be amplified for me to be quiet right now.”

“Melania” is scheduled to be released worldwide on January 30th. Mark Beckman, the first lady’s outside advisor and agent, said the screening was the first time the president, his family and close friends had seen the film in its entirety.

The film provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at the first lady, who has kept a low public profile during her husband’s second term. The trailer begins on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2025, and shows her wearing a navy wide-brimmed hat during a ceremony at the U.S. Capitol. It also depicts her role as an advisor to the president, including encouraging him to emphasize his role as a “peacemaker and unifier” in his inaugural address.

The East Room screening comes after the president’s threat to impose tariffs on Canada, the defense of federal workers after a fatal shooting during a Minnesota protest, and preparations for a winter storm to hit the United States.

The controversy arose after Border Patrol agents shot and killed Alex Pretti, a registered nurse at a veterans hospital in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on January 24.

Federal officials said Preti had a handgun and intended to “kill law enforcement.” But federal court video and witness testimony show Preti holding a phone, not brandishing a firearm. The video also shows a federal agent with his hands free participating in a struggle with Preti and coming out with a firearm before another agent opens fire. The firearm resembled one seen in images posted by the White House and displayed at a Department of Homeland Security press conference.

The Minneapolis police chief said Preti had a concealed carry permit.

Destiny was a “healthy, loving, active 16-year-old,” her aunt Yesenia Mojica-Santillan told USA TODAY.

When Destiny developed a cough and stuffy nose in December 2024, her family paid little attention to it. She was a typical teenager and it wasn’t unusual for her to catch a cold in the winter.

But after a few weeks, more symptoms appeared. She felt weak, light-headed, and her face was swollen. It was the flu that ultimately claimed Destiny’s life several months later in May 2025.

Ice, freezing rain, and snow are expected to begin falling in parts of the South on Saturday, Jan. 24, and continue into Sunday, Jan. 25, with “sleet accumulations equal to 1 to 3 inches,” according to the National Weather Service. A sleet-filled Sunday could bring severe thunderstorms to parts of the central Gulf Coast.

On Sunday morning, the storm turned east, bringing a mix of wintry cold conditions from the Carolinas to New York. Heavy snow is starting to fall on the Mid-Atlantic coast and Northeast, with up to 18 inches possible in New England, the National Weather Service said.

Frigid temperatures and icy conditions are expected to complicate storm cleanup as snow-covered roads impede the efforts of utility workers and emergency responders.
