Dallas Weather Is a Mess; Ice and Snow Close DFW Airport, Schools, Offices [VIDEOS]
By David Knowles - AOL NewsThe Midwest isn't the only place suffering from a brush with the snowpocalypse. In Dallas, a morning ice storm resulted in a veritable shutdown of the city, the Dallas Morning News reported. With schools, the courts, public transportation, DFW airport and numerous roads all being shut down for a portion of the day, some Super Bowl fans had to wonder why this year's game couldn't have been held in Miami. With Chicago expected to get upward of 2 feet of snow, a couple of inches of ice might not seem like such a newsworthy event, but this is Dallas we're talking about, where most cars aren't ...

By David Knowles - AOL News(Feb. 25) -- Weary residents of the Northeastern United States are being hit with the latest punch from Mother Nature. Nicknamed "Snowicane," the storm's brought heavy snow to New York state, New Jersey and Pennsylvania and heavy rain to parts of New England.

Snowpocalypse: This Column Has a Snow Day
By David Corn - Politics DailySnowpocalypse was fun -- that is, until our power went out and the heat vanished. That was two days ago. So I've been contending with the basics of survival: food and shelter. In between all that, I've been shoveling tons of snow. Our neighborhood was placed low on the priority list for Pepco, the power company. I guess we just don't have political pull. (Rep. Chris Van Hollen, don't count on this precinct next time.)
