AN arctic blast has left death and devastation in its path as frozen roads and frigid temperatures claim at least six lives. One tragic victim was found frozen to death while desperately seeking shelter at a bus stop, as weather officials warn Winter Storm Blair isn't done yet.

On Monday, Blair swept from the south and Midwest into the mid-Atlantic, dumping snow on cities like Baltimore, Maryland, and Washington, DC. The day prior, it brought piercing temperatures and feet of snow areas in Kansas, Missouri, and Texas. Those left in Blair's thankless path have been warned to stay off the roads and seek shelter as a growing number of deaths is reported.

In Houston, a man died at a bus stop on a night when the feels-like temperatures dropped as low as 18 degrees, ABC affiliate KTRK reported. The details about the victim's background are unknown, but the tragedy sparked fear for homeless populations across the country.

"We gave away over a hundred coats and hundred blankets, so we plan for that ahead of time," Scott Arthur, a volunteer at the Star of Hope organization, said. "We also plan for the fact that we don't have a lot of room in the shelter.". In nearby Missouri, a disturbing flurry of weather-related traffic deaths has driven up Blair fatalities.
In Jackson County on Sunday, a 61-year-old man died after he got out of a dump truck and was struck by a truck that was sliding down the icy road, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said. On Saturday, a 33-year-old man was killed by a parked semi-truck that slid down a hill and struck him as he was crossing a street in Holt County.
