NPR had reported that at least four people are dead from the heavy storms this week:
In Kansas, where blizzard warnings had been issued across the state over the weekend, at least three people have died in car crashes, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.
At least one person has died and more than 30 people have been injured in Missouri, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Missouri is among the states warning travelers.
"Snow is still making its way out of the state, but don't expect conditions to improve quickly – if you saw snow and ice fall yesterday, continue to AVOID TRAVELING today," the Missouri Department of Transportation wrote in a social media post on Monday. "Our crews are still hard at work, but cleanup will take awhile in these conditions."
Our thoughts are with everyone across the country during this scary time.
