Storm Blamed for 9 Deaths
A late-winter storm blamed for at least nine deaths plastered the Midwest with up to eight inches of snow and ice, toppling trees and power lines and leaving more than 65,000 people without electricity today, officials said.
The storm left five to nine inches of snow in Ohio, and five to eight inches in Indiana, while freezing rain in Indiana and Illinois thickly layered roads, bridges, trees and power lines with as much as two inches of ice. Freezing rain also spread today into Pennsylvania and northern Kentucky. North-central Pennsylvania received up to four inches of snow, and snow also spread across upstate New York into southern Vermont.
