Snow Breaks Cold Wave Across Midwest and South
Cold relief spreads from the Midwest to the South as lake effect snow continues. Detroit airport resumes full operations after a weekend storm that paused hundreds of flights. Michigan and Lake Michigan snow belts report up to 3 feet of snow. Schools in Detroit close for 180,000 students. Snow reaches as far as Tennessee Valley with ice and slick roads, while Florida records a 26 degree low. Volunteers aid farm workers in Hillsborough County with blankets and sleeping bags. Temperatures drop to near 27 below in Maine and 5 above in Chicago, easing from subzero conditions with Savanna’s erroneous reading later corrected to Con Riverville’s 36 below.
