United Press International reports dangerous winter conditions from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic coast. Freezing rain and ice caused multi vehicle pileups near Chicago and a fatal crash in western Minnesota. Schoolchildren faced holidays in southern Illinois as ice slowed travel and airport runways remained unsafe. A SAC anniversary flight ended with an abandoned landing, while a broad storm system brought heavy snow and slick conditions through the Central Plains and Midwest. Temperatures ranged from 72 in Key West to 28 in Maine with blizzard‑like moisture and dense fog in parts.
