You forgot the people who die from CO inhalation due to lack of ventilation. Also if it goes more than a week, probably a few old folks living alone will die from hypothermia. Then there are the people who are electrocuted by downed power lines and the ones who fall while cutting down trees and fixing roofs. Add the middle age fat guys who die from heart attacks shoveling snow.
On the average day, 120 people die in car accidents. Hard to say what it is during this time, since on the one hand conditions make it more dangerous, but on the other fewer people are out driving. However, after the event finishes, patches of black ice left over are extra dangerous. Overall, I'd guess it averages 150/day for a week.
All together, I'd guess at least 100.
