The big thaw begins: FROZEN BODIES found in snow as temperatures begin to rise after brutal 'polar vortex' leaves 21 dead and 11,000 flights grounded

The arctic blast that has shattered temperature records and taken the lives of more than 20 people across the U.S. will ease its grip on much of the country today, providing relief for millions scrambling to stay warm.

But as the weather begins to warm, grisly discoveries have been made of bodies frozen in the snow. In Akron, Ohio, a postal worker discovered the body of a man in a driveway, while in Maryland a homeless man was found frozen to death behind a business in Morningside.

The tragedies come a day after all 50 U.S. states endured freezing temperatures, and areas of the Midwest and East were colder than much of Antarctica. Even Hawaii experienced the chill as temperatures plummeted to 18F (-8C) atop Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano.

Just yesterday, Atlanta endured a record low of 6 degrees, causing fountains to freeze over and forcing southerners to dig out rarely-worn winter hats and coats, but today the southern city is predicted to see sunny skies and temperatures of 42 degrees.

In the Midwest and East, where brutal polar air has lingered over the past few days, temperatures climbed but were still expected to be below freezing.

On Thursday, highs in the 20s or 30s in much of the Great Lakes and Northeast will seem downright balmy compared to earlier in the week.

Thousands of protesters clash with police in Chicago: Chaos in the Windy City as 45 activists arrested and one cop stabbed after demonstrators target NATO

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER Thousands of demonstrators upset with the war in Afghanistan, climate change and the erosion of union rights have raised the intensity of a march in downtown Chicago on Sunday as world leaders assembled for a NATO summit. The protest, one of the city's largest in years, turned violent at the end of an anti-NATO march, where demonstrators confronted Chicago police, pushing against a line of officers several blocks from the lakefront convention center where President Obama hosted a gathering of world leaders. Authorities were seen making arrests one by one and leading individual demonstrators away in handcuffs. After a clash near McCormick Place, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said at a news conference that the protests resulted in 45 people being arrested and four officers suffering injuries - one from a stab wound in the leg.
