Snow Storm Heads for Northeast

A storm that dumped up to 15 inches of snow across parts of the Midwest, canceling more than 200 flights out of Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, headed for the northeast this morning, setting off winter storm watches and warnings, reports the AP. At least two deaths, from accidents on slippery roads in Michigan and Wisconsin, were blamed on the storm.

Forecasters were calling for up to a foot of snow north and east of Pittsburgh through Sunday night, where freezing rain had already laid down a glaze of ice. Regions farther northeast were expecting less accumulation, but possible sleet and icy conditions. (More snow stories.)
