Snow fell a foot deep in the Ohio Valley and snarled traffic and closed schools into New England from a storm that left a white, icy trail all the way to New Mexico. A new wave of cold air washed from the Canadian border into Texas, plunging temperatures there to a record-tying low of 12 degrees below zero.

The storm also spawned tornadoes late Monday in Georgia that destroyed homes and caused several injuries.
