Midwest Snowstorm

Midwest Snowstorm, An early spring snowstorm forced the cancellation of more than 100 flights at Denver International Airport and closed several roads Saturday as it moved eastward, dumping more than a foot of snow in some places.

The snow started falling around midnight in northeast Colorado and then moved into northwest Kansas and southwest Nebraska.

Ten to 15 inches of snow had fallen by Saturday afternoon north of Interstate 70 in northwest Kansas and northeast Colorado, with another 1 to 2 inches expected in the area, said Ryan Husted, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Goodland, Kan., where 15 inches of snow had fallen.

Flight Cancellations Heathrow, Heavy Fog Envelopes London Airports, Grounds Flights, The Heathrow and London City Airports in the U.K. are experiencing heavy fog that has caused the cancellation of several flights Sunday.

At Heathrow Airport, at least 160 flights have been canceled, according to bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england. The London City Airport has had to suspend at least 44 flight and diverted others.

East coast snow storm, An unusually early and powerful nor'easter along the East Coast began dumping several inches of wet, heavy snow Saturday that weighed down or toppled leafy trees and power lines and combined with high winds to knock out power to hundreds of thousands.

Communities inland in mid-Atlantic states were getting hit hardest, with eastern Pennsylvania serving as the bull's-eye for the storm, said National Weather Service spokesman Chris Vaccaro. Some places got more than half a foot of snow, and towns near the Maryland-Pennsylvania border saw 10 inches fall.
