A wintry storm dusted the Midwest with April snow showers, and gusty winds blew frigid Canadian air into the northern Plains, breaking record lows in at least five cities. The spring storm spread swirls of huge snowflakes from South Dakota to Michigan, but accumulation was light in most areas and caused few problems, the National Weather Service said. At least one traffic death was blamed on the storm. Light snow and rain fell from South Dakota and Nebraska across Iowa, Minnesota and Illinois into Michigan. Less than an inch of snow fell in Chicago.
