Massive Snowstorm Closes Schools, Grounds Flights In U.S. Heartland | US News LIVE | English News
A major winter storm battered the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest with high winds and heavy snow on Wednesday (February 22), forcing hundreds of schools to close, grounding air travel and making road travel difficult - if not impossible - across the U.S. regions.
More than 50 million Americans were under winter weather advisories on Wednesday morning as the storm moved across a wide swath of the western and northern United States and into the East. Up to 2 feet (60 cm) of snow and winds of up to 60 miles (97 km) an hour were expected in some spots during the day and into Thursday, the National Weather Service said.
The storm also pounded California and brought a mix of snow and sleet to the East, including New England, where forecasters warned motorists to beware slick roads.
