Midwest winter storm to dump heavy snow across the region
A winter weather system from the Midwest is expected to sweep eastward dumping more than a foot of snow in some areas. The storm began in the upper Plains and Midwest with six inches in central Illinois, spreading to the Ohio Valley and Northeast. Lake effect snow could bring up to 15 inches in some locales. Washington DC saw four inches, prompting flight cancellations and rough commutes. Cold air follows, with frigid temperatures across the eastern two thirds of the US and single digits in the Dakotas to New York. Officials urge bundling up and driving cautiously as warming centers open in Detroit and Illinois.
