Yesterday, about a million U.S. homes and businesses were without power, and more than a third of the country's population from the Midwest to the Northeast is hunkering down in cold snow ice or all three.It's easier to show you what some of that looks like, with snow piling higher in places like Kansas City, Missouri, as the storm froze its way east.But you can't really see the cold.Not like folks in Montana are feeling it.In high temperatures of three degrees below zero.This weather is also having an economic impact.Out of business because of a broken water pipe.Found water just all over the place.It is hard to imagine anyone more upset about this winter than the owner of Rozal's Italian Cuchina in Chicago's Little Italy.He was literally crying.When I spoke to him on the phone he was literally crying.The harsh unrelenting snow and freezing temperatures have four cities across the country to shell out thousands in overtime pay to plow streets and now many areas are running low on road salt, forcing crews to cut back or pay three times the regular price for the other white stuff, now in short supply.Price have skyrocketed because of-really because of the lack of supply.Several industries are feeling the effects of this winter.Airlines have lost an estimated quarter of a billion dollars according to analyst.
