Photos: Winter storm slams northern US

A massive winter storm swept across the northern United States on Friday, with blinding snow in some places, freezing rain in others, and whipping winds and bitter cold temperatures across several states.

The massive storm continues a week of strong winter weather for much of the U.S. that has led to deadly avalanches and treacherous ice-covered roads.
