Severe winter storm dumps snow and ice across nation
A fast moving storm swept from the Southern Plains to the Great Lakes bringing heavy snow rain and sleet. Chicago and its suburbs faced up to six inches of new snow and widespread power outages as lines were repaired but ice loads caused fresh breaks. Schools closed and traffic slowed with trains behind schedule. The weather disrupted travel from Arkansas to Michigan with dangerous icing and wind gusts up to 28 miles per hour. Authorities warned the system would linger with below zero readings in parts and additional snow possible in northern Iowa and central eastern towns by Thursday.
