Heavy Snow Blankets Great Lakes States
A winter storm left a blanket of snow across parts of several Great Lakes states.
Font Size:

(January 22, 2008)--A winter storm has left a blanket of snow across parts of Michigan and Wisconsin and is being blamed for deaths in three states.

Snow starting falling yesterday and continued into today, piling up to about a foot in western Michigan and southeastern Wisconsin.

The snowfall has since tapered off in Michigan, where the National Weather Service canceled a winter storm warning.

Still, the weather left nearly every school in the Grand Rapids region closed.

At least three traffic deaths in the state are blamed on the weather.

And most highways in southern Wisconsin were covered in snow.

Meanwhile, freezing rain on the Plains left ice on highways in Oklahoma, closing schools there and causing one traffic death.

Snow and ice have also been blamed for crashes that killed three people in Kentucky.

Officials say in one instance, an emergency medical services worker and a pregnant woman she was helping were both killed when a skidding truck hit them.
