Storm Moves to Southeast and Mid-Atlantic States

INDIANAPOLIS - The powerful storm that dumped up to 2 feet of snow in the Plains was making its way East on Tuesday, painting Indiana and Iowa in white as Southeast and mid-Atlantic states were told to expect heavy rain.

As much as 9 inches fell in parts of Iowa Tuesday, causing schools to delay or cancel classes and causing slippery driving for motorists who otherwise have skated through a mild winter.

In much of Indiana, heavy and blowing snow arrived just in time for Tuesday's morning rush hour, making traveling difficult and dangerous in spots.

Indianapolis International Airport reported 5 inches of snow by 10 a.m. Winds up to 25 mph caused drifting and whiteout conditions in some areas.

Some rural school systems in western and central Indiana closed for the day, while many others delayed the start of classes.

Dozens of accidents were reported, some with injuries, on interstates and state roads in the Indianapolis metropolitan area. None of the injuries were life-threatening.

On Monday, the first day of spring, hundreds of schools were closed in Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and South Dakota, and at least five deaths were blamed on the storm.

Twenty-five inches of snow was reported in central Nebraska, parts of South Dakota had up to 18 inches, northeast Colorado had at least a foot, northwest Kansas had up to 10 inches and parts of the Oklahoma Panhandle got half a foot.

Myron Williams, who raises livestock near Wall, was busy shoveling a foot of snow from gates and feedlots on his property. The rancher said the work was hard but the precipitation was welcome.

“We’re glad to have the moisture,” Williams said. “Nothing’s free, so you’ve got to pay for everything.”

Parts of Interstate 80 shut down
Several stretches of Interstate 80 were closed Monday in Nebraska, the State Patrol said. Parts of Interstate 70 were closed in western Kansas, and in Colorado more than 150 miles of the highway were shut down.

In South Dakota, a stretch of about 200 miles of I-90 was reopened Monday. The highway had been closed from Rapid City to Chamberlain because of the heavy snow and tractor-trailers that had gotten stuck.

The storm postponed the final day of the South Dakota Legislature’s 2006 session, and forced Nebraska’s Legislature to cancel its Tuesday meeting.

The deaths included a person killed Sunday in a traffic accident on a slush-covered road in Colorado. And a woman reportedly suffering from Alzheimer’s disease was found dead Monday after she wandered away from her home.

In Nebraska, two motorists died on an icy highway on Sunday.

Also Monday, at least two tornadoes touched down in rural Oklahoma as a wave of thunderstorms moved across the state.

Rain drenches the South
Texas also saw severe weather. Up to 8 inches of rain was reported in northern Texas over the weekend and into Monday, causing flooding around the Dallas area. Waters subsided Monday, and the storms may have eased chronic drought.

“It is definitely going to help with the drought, but it is not going to reverse it,” said weather service meteorologist Stacie Hanes.

In Dallas, the body of a woman was recovered from a creek. Officials believe high water swept her car off a road Sunday night.

Yeah...I'm pretty sure we won that.

Actually, instead of me going down south, why don't you go up north in the winter to say...oh...Binghamton, NY (not even the snowiest part of NY) and see how much you like it.

Oh, that's what you think. ;) I'm pretty sure we let you think you won. :P

And actually, I prefer cold weather. ;) I was hoping for about six inches of snow last night, but no luck. :angry:

If by letting us think we won, you mean we brought you all back from secession and those states had to abolish slavery, which is what that was all about...then yes, you're probably right...we didn't win it at all, my mistake.
