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. ...
Snow ... in Mexico? Rare Winter Dusting Shuts Down Ciudad Juarez

In Ciudad Juarez, life ground to a virtual halt. The city's schools and factories were closed, and thousands of residents who are homeless or live in unweatherized dwellings headed for government-run shelters Wednesday night, according to The ...

By not in system - AOL NewsNEW YORK -- Schools closed, governments sent workers home early and planes were grounded Wednesday in an all-too-familiar routine along the East Coast as another snowstorm swept over a region already beaten down by a winter not even half over. "I fell three times trying to get off the steps," commuter Elliott Self said after leaving an elevated train in Philadelphia. "I just want the snow to stop. I want the sun again. I want to feel just a little bit of warmth." Millions of people got that oh-no-not-again feeling as the wet and sloppy storm engulfed the Northeast, where snowbanks in some ...

Hundreds of brave swimmers took to the icy waters of England's largest freshwater swimming pool on Saturday for the Cold Water Championships at Tooting Bec Lido in south London.

Record Cold Gives Northeast the Shivers
By Lisa Flam - AOL NewsBiting cold gripped the Northeast this morning, with single-digit temperatures common from Pennsylvania through Maine and several areas shivering in record-setting temperatures well below zero.
