Winter held strong positions across the country with a late 8:20 p.m. start time and severe conditions in the Dakotas and New England. Bismarck hit 13 below zero as winds lashed the Rockies and fog snarled California airports while the South enjoyed springlike sun. Thousands lost power, boilers shut, and 20 towns closed schools as ice damaged wires and trees.
