Deep South hit by April snow and flood threat
A spring storm dumped heavy snow across the Deep South and northern Georgia, closing schools in six Alabama counties, knocking out power to thousands, and bringing up to 9 inches in parts of Alabama. Maine flood damage rose as the Penobscot River flooded Bangor. Kennebec and Androscoggin rivers also produced rising flood risks. Knoxville, Ober Gatlinburg, and Rome area crews faced outages and slick roads as conditions eased in parts of the region.

Surrogate mom denied visitation in Baby M case appeal
An appellate panel in New Jersey denied surrogate mother Mary Beth Whitehead visitation with her Baby M during an appeal of a custody ruling. The court kept the child with biologic father William Stern and his wife Elizabeth, and refused stays on naming or adoption. Whitehead vowed to pursue higher court review and potentially the U S Supreme Court, while the judge condemned her as impulsive and overpossessive.
