Texas ? The latest in a series of icy storms blamed for at least 64 deaths in nine states spread snow and freezing rain across Texas on Wednesday, closing the Alamo in San Antonio, glazing freeways and immobilizing communities unaccustomed to such cold.

Accumulations were light by many regions’ standards – the Dallas area topped out at a half-inch of snow, and more than 3 inches piled up west of Fort Worth. But hundreds of flights were canceled, tens of thousands of customers lost electricity and a 300-mile stretch of Interstate 10, a major east-west artery, was closed.

Nine deaths were blamed on the storm in Texas.

In Oklahoma, the ice storm killed at least 23 people. The storm also was blamed for 11 deaths in Missouri, eight in Iowa, four each in New York and Michigan, three in Arkansas and one each in Maine and Indiana.
