Guest guest Posted March 2, 2002 Report Share Posted March 2, 2002 > what big storm? < this one! Snow Spreads From Texas To Mich. The Associated Press Mar 2 2002 3:23PM A huge storm spread snow and ice across the middle of the nation on Saturday, canceling or delaying some flights at Dallas and Chicago and sending cars sliding into ditches and each other. Up to 2 feet of snow was possible by Sunday morning on Michigan's Upper Peninsula, the National Weather Service said. Amounts by midday Saturday ranged from 1 to 2 inches in Texas to 4 to 8 inches in Oklahoma and 8 1/2 at Grand Rapids, Mich. About 100 flights were delayed by the weather Saturday at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, a spokesman said. And a spokesman for the city of Fort Worth, Pat Svacina, said there were numerous accidents as freezing rain and snow coated the roads. The snow stopped falling in Texas by noon, but temperatures in the Dallas-Fort Worth area remained in the 20s, and in parts of the region a brisk wind made it feel as cold as 5 degrees, said Lonnie King, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Fort Worth. Lows in the teens were expected by Sunday morning. ``It was just a real quick shot during the morning hours,'' King said. ``The big problem is going to be the strong winds and wind chill.'' In Illinois, O'Hare International Airport reported 6 inches of snow, while most of the Chicago area had 4 to 5 inches. ``We've seen some selective (flight) cancelations but it hasn't been too bad,'' said Bond, spokeswoman for the Chicago Department of Aviation. ``So far, so good.'' The storm had started building on Friday, when Colorado got 14 inches of snow at Eldorado Springs and temperatures fell below zero. Lucas picked up groceries at a Milwaukee store late Friday ``so we don't have to be out in the snow tomorrow - or if we are out in the snow tomorrow, we can be sledding.'' The warning also made a difference for motorists in Wisconsin. ``There are some cars in the ditches, but I think everybody was scared enough by the weather forecast last night that they know enough not to go out,'' said Tom Alt, a dispatcher for Mike's Towing Service in Madison.
