A Blizzard of Blizzards So Far -- and Winter's Not Over
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsBlizzards have been relatively common this winter, and an active weather pattern has the potential to produce additional strong winter storms -- perhaps even another blizzard -- during the next several weeks. The most recent storm to reach official blizzard strength was the storm that pounded the northern Plains and upper Midwest this past weekend, producing more than a foot of wind-whipped snow over a wide area from South Dakota to Wisconsin. The storm appears to have been the first in a new series of storms that will move across the country, after a brief break from the wintry weather for ...
After Dumping a Foot of Snow in Midwest, Storm Heads East
By not in system - AOL NewsMINNEAPOLIS -- A major snow storm dealt another winter wallop to Wisconsin, Michigan and northern Ohio on Monday as it moved east out of Minnesota leaving more than a foot of fresh snow in its wake. Operations were returning to normal at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport after the storm prompted Delta Airlines to cancel hundreds of flights Sunday, although hourlong delays were reported. Airport spokeswoman Melissa Scovronski said about 60 departures and 100 arrivals were canceled early Monday, but she said she didn't expect more because the weather was clearing. The National ...
Winter Storm to Head East After Pounding Plains and Upper Midwest
By Paul Yeager - AOL NewsA major winter storm -- one that will reach blizzard strength -- will pound the Northern Plains and upper Midwest today and tonight, indicating that this winter, with its history of intense storms and severe cold, is not going to end prematurely. The worst of the storm will occur in South Dakota and western Minnesota, where blizzard warnings are in effect through early tomorrow.

Road and air travel will be severely interrupted from South Dakota to Wisconsin, including possible airport and road ...
Another Blizzard Blitzes Middle of the Nation
By Mara Gay - AOL NewsAnother winter storm has swept across the nation's midsection, dumping more than a foot of snow on states still struggling to recover from last week's knock-out blow. The snow continued to fall in Oklahoma this morning amid subzero wind chills and high winds that created near-blizzard conditions across the winter-weary state. Relief seems to be within sight as the snow is expected to stop in the state by this afternoon and temperatures are expected to rise into the 20s and 30s. But for the moment, life in Tulsa has ground to a halt for the second time this month, according to the Tulsa World. ...

Richard Daley Pulls a Bloomberg? Chicago Mayor Faces Blizzard Criticism [PICTURES]
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsIt's been a bad winter to be a mayor. Last month New Yorkers piled on Michael Bloomberg for his handling of the blizzard that paralyzed the city. (Newark's Cory Booker, on the other hand, kept constituents happy by responding to individual complaints on Twitter.) Now it's Chicago mayor Richard Daley's turn to defend his winter-weather response. In a press conference today he praised citizens, city crews and emergency response teams for their efforts, but added that the city has "a long way to go" before life returns to normal. The Chicago Tribune reports that the mayor has been ...
Super Bowl 2011: Was the Hype Sacked by the Blizzard?
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsNational news issues often take a back seat to the Super Bowl this time of year, but thanks to the massive blizzard that's buried much of the country, the Packers and the Steelers have lost some of their thunder to thundersnow. With so much attention being paid to the mini mountains of snow left behind by Mother Nature this week, Surge Desk turned to Twitter to find out how the blizzard is affecting the big game. Some are convinced that there's less buzz than usual this year. .bbpBox32871948434284544 {background:url(http://a3.twimg.com/a/1296265969/images/themes/theme1/bg.png) ...
Mammoth Storm Leaves Bitter Cold, Destruction
By not in system - AOL NewsMILFORD, Conn. -- An enormous winter storm left Midwesterners shivering in its frozen footprint and crushed snow-laden buildings in the Northeast, where a combination of ice, snow and rain pushed much of the winter-cursed region to its breaking point. Wind chills dipped to nearly 30 below in parts of the nation's midsection early Thursday as the region began dealing with the storm's aftermath. The sprawling system unloaded as much as 2 feet of snow, crippled airports and stranded drivers in downtown Chicago as if in a prairie blizzard. Even the sunny Southwest wasn't spared: Freezing ...

Blizzard Spreads Snowy Shroud Over Nearly Half of US
By not in system - AOL NewsCHICAGO -- A fearsome storm spread a smothering shroud of white over nearly half the nation Wednesday, snarling transportation from Oklahoma to New England, burying parts of the Midwest under 2 feet of snow and laying down dangerously heavy ice in the Northeast that was too much for some buildings to bear. Tens of millions of people stayed home. The hardy few who ventured out faced howling winds that turned snowflakes into face-stinging needles. Chicago's 20.2 inches of snow was the city's third-largest amount on record. In New York's Central Park, the pathways resembled skating rinks. The ...
