    Swirling snowstorm pounds Midwest, aims at Northeast

    Commuters brace the snow as they arrive in downtown Chicago on March 5. Chicago was hit Tuesday by a storm expected to dump as much as 10 inches of snow in the area before the end of the day — the most since the 2011 blizzard.

    A storm packing heavy, wet, travel-snarling snow threatened the Midwest on Tuesday with its hardest punch of the winter, and forecasters said it could curl through the major cities of the Northeast later this week.

    Chicago expected up to a foot of snow, the most there since a blizzard in 2011. More than 1,000 flights were canceled into and out of O’Hare and Midway airports. Minneapolis-St. Paul reported delays up to an hour. Read more on this story here.

    Winter storm blankets parts of North Dakota

    Snow-covered trees form a scenic canopy in Bismarck, N.D., on March 4, 2013, in the wake of a slow moving winter storm that passed through the state leaving southern areas of North Dakota with rain that later turned to snow. Northern areas of the state received significant snowfall totals causing school closings and many cancellations of scheduled events and travel advisories.

    Winter storm dumps snow from Maine to Missouri

    Wet snow clings to trees around Little Pine Island Lake north of Comstock Park, Mich., Feb. 27, 2013. A storm that hit the nation's midsection dropped up to 9 inches of snow on parts of Michigan and created dangerous driving conditions.

    NBC News reports:

    A winter storm coated a swath of the country from Missouri to Maine with snow Wednesday, and forecasters warned of difficult travel.

    As the storm moves east, it is expected to dump 6 to 10 inches of snow Wednesday and Thursday from the Allegheny Mountains of western Pennsylvania through the Adirondacks of upstate New York and into interior New England.

    Lloyd Anderson, 88, uses a snowblower with a canopy to clear his driveway on Lover's Lane in St. Joseph, Mo., on Feb. 26. A major winter storm paralyzed parts of the nation's midsection Tuesday, dumping a fresh layer of heavy, wet snow atop cities still choked with piles from the previous system and making travel perilous from the Oklahoma Panhandle to the Great Lakes.

    Midwest works to dig out of heavy snow

    “We have roofs collapsing all over town,” Woodward, Okla., Mayor Roscoe Hill Jr. told Reuters. “We really have a mess on our hands.”

    The storm brought the February total in Wichita, Kan., to 21 inches, breaking a 100-year-old record for the month, NBC station KSN reported. A KSN reporter was covering the storm when a building collapsed under the weight of snow.

    Snow-covered cactuses? Golf championship play stopped due to Arizona winter storm

     Dove Mountain looked more like a winter wonderland than a golfing venue after driving snow forced play to be abandoned in the opening round of the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship on Wednesday.

    Just over three-and-a-half hours of golf was possible on a bitterly cold and breezy morning before rain, sleet and then snow led to matches being suspended at the elite World Golf Championships (WGC) event.

    Ice formed on the greens and, with further snow showers forecast for the rest of the day in Arizona's high desert, officials called off play for the day after waiting a couple of hours to re-evaluate conditions.

    Almost two inches of snow covered the entire course, driving range and practice putting green at Dove Mountain's Ritz-Carlton Golf Club after all but 10 matches had started with none finishing.

    "Once we got two inches of snow, even if it melted in the next hour or so, it would still take another hour-and-a-half ... to let the golf course drain where we could play," Mark Russell, the PGA Tour's vice president of rules and competition, said.

    Snow set to blanket East Coast

    Janet S. Carter / The Free Press via AP

    Snow flurries create a haze along Washington Street as winter weather sets in over Kinston, N.C., Feb. 16.

    The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for eastern Massachusetts, including the Boston area, and Rhode Island through 7 p.m. ET Sunday. Up to 10 inches of snow accumulation was possible for some areas on Sunday, the weather service said.

    The culprit is a large dip in the jet stream that brought colder-than-average temperatures to the eastern U.S., Weather.com reported, resulting in freeze warnings for parts of northern Florida. That was combined with a low-pressure system heading north that was expected to be off New England Sunday morning.

    Connecticut's nursery and landscaping businesses hit hard by snow storm

    Dave Collins / AP

    Orlando Nunez dismantles a greenhouse that collapsed under the weight of snow at Sunny Border Nurseries in the Kensington section of Berlin, Conn., Feb. 13, 2013. Five of the nursery's 16 greenhouses caved in after the heavy snowfall Friday and Saturday. Much of the damage in Connecticut was to the state's nursery and landscaping businesses, which account for more than $1 billion sales, or about half of all agriculture in the state.

    Long Island quieted by heavy snow

    The blizzard that swept through the Northeast on Friday and Saturday turned parts of New York’s Long Island into a moonscape. Roads normally thick with traffic were pristine and white, snow piled up around entrances to buildings, and some cars were stranded.
