Jack Hall and Sam both survive the storm. Jack finds Sam in the library, they get rescued by some government helicopters and are flown back to Mexico. Laura Chapman also survives. Most of the people in the Northern States / Canada / Northern Europe die during the storm (including all the people who leave the library during the storm to walk south). The US president also dies. The rest flock down to Mexico which only allowed the Americans in because they nullified all the Latin American debt.
Factual error: When Sam climbs outside the ship he grabs the frozen metallic pipes and rails with both hands - one half covered with a glove, one is bare. He has no problem gripping the cold metal and he can get his hands free every time. If the moisture froze before contact, his hands would be frozen too, so that can't be the reason.
Vice President Becker: I don't accept that abandoning half of the country is necessary! Tom Gomez: Maybe if you'd listened to him sooner, it wouldn't be. Vice President Becker: Bullshit! It's easy for him to suggest this plan. He's safely here in Washington. Tom Gomez: His son is in Manhattan. I just thought you should know that before you start questioning his motives.
Trivia: There is a party at J.D.'s school after the academic decathlon. Most of the students are wearing name tags. Sam's name tag says "Hello my name is Yoda."(00:21:50)
Question: I noticed the librarian, Judith, never appears after the retrieval of penicillin, I say this because I missed a tid-bit of the film after they acquired it. Is she there just camera shy or did she freeze?
Answer:She is indeed alive. Take a close look at the scene when Jack Hall arrives. Judith appears in that scene.
