KENNESAW, Ga. (AP) — As a deadly storm that brought crippling ice to the South and deep snow to the Northeast finally swirled out to sea, it represented a light at the end of the tunnel for some.

However, roughly half a million homes and businesses were still without power or heat, and temperatures were forecast to fall well below freezing Tuesday evening in areas where the massive ice storm did its worst damage.

Here’s a look at the storm by the numbers.

1 inch

Thickness of ice recorded in multiple communities across Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, Alabama, and South Carolina.

More than 3 dozen

That’s how many deaths were reported in states afflicted with severe cold as of Tuesday, including car crashes, hypothermia and being hit by snowplows. At least eight people died in Louisiana, and several were found dead outdoors in New York City.

6, 8 and 9

Ages of three brothers who perished after falling through the frozen surface of a pond Monday in Texas.

10 days

That’s how long it could take to restore power in Allen County, Kentucky, according to city estimates when the storm hit. Other communities in the South also say it could take a week or more.

6.7 inches

The amount of sleet that fell at Clinton National Airport in Little Rock, Arkansas, according to preliminary totals.

22.2 inches

That’s how much snow fell during the storm in Sterling, Massachusetts. The number was a preliminary figure through Monday morning.

14 degrees

The temperature in Fahrenheit that’s expected early Wednesday morning in Tennessee’s capital city of Nashville.

50 degrees

The temperature in Fahrenheit inside Marshall Ramsey’s home in Oxford, Mississippi, on Monday morning after he lost power. He said the weekend ice storm “was like a demonic symphony of trees breaking, transformers blowing and thunder.”

28 degrees

The low temperature in Fahrenheit for Orlando, Florida, expected by early next week, the National Weather Service is projecting. The frigid forecast for one of the nation’s top tourist destinations is part of what could become “the longest duration of cold in several decades,” the agency’s Weather Prediction Center warned.

200-plus

The number of dogs rescued from a rural property in the Tupelo, Mississippi, area just before the ice storm by Paws of War.

175,000

Customers without power in all of Tennessee on Tuesday, according to poweroutage.com.

137,000

Customers without power in Mississippi on Tuesday, according to poweroutage.com.
