Storms are blamed for 38 deaths
As much as a foot of snow fell from the Plains across the Midwest, snarling road and air travel, as the second big storm in a week barreled through on its way to New England.
Tens of thousands of people still lacked electricity after the first storm slammed Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri. It was blamed for at least 38 deaths, mostly in traffic accidents.
Winter storm warnings and watches extended from Missouri across parts of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine, the National Weather Service said. As much as 15 inches of snow was forecast in parts of Michigan, with 10 inches possible in Detroit.
More than 200 flights were canceled at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport.
