Winds Rip Through New York and Chicago Sparking Parades and Damage
Powerful winds buffeted Chicago and New York toppling chimneys and damaging homes while a blizzard swept Michigan and the Midwest.

Wildlife officials in Virginia Beach delayed efforts to cull diseased coots due to winds. Snow piled across Marquette and Sault Ste. Marie with 28 and 21 inches, respectively, as the storm marched across Missouri and the northern Great Lakes slowing traffic and reducing visibility.
