The second winter storm to hit the region this season covered 16 municipalities with snow; state officials urge citizens to take precautions.

Despite damage, no human casualties have been reported to date.

Two bodies were found on a beach, and it is believed they were part of a five-person crew aboard a fishing vessel that was wrecked by the storm.

The storm will produce 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) of rain in parts of the states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, Puebla, Tabasco and Veracruz.

Earl had been a hurricane overnight, but weakened as dawn broke and Mexico's government discontinued storm warnings.

Car accidents, carbon monoxide, and shoveling were the cause.

In contrast, New York rebounds after the storm.

Some of the victims died after braving the icy roads.

Amtrak has also canceled or cut back on service.
