Snowstorm Strands Motorists, Cuts Power
A slow-moving spring storm dumped up to 19 inches of snow on northwestern Pennsylvania, stranding motorists for hours on a 22-mile stretch of highway and knocking out power to tens of thousands of homes.
Interstate 90 was closed from the New York state line to Erie as emergency officials tried to clear roads and reach stranded motorists with snowmobiles and four-wheel-drive vehicles.
There were no immediate reports of serious injuries or accidents, authorities said. The storm also knocked out power to 25,000 customers, officials said.
