Heavy Snow Creates Havoc across Country’s Mid-Section

Posted Thursday, January 29, 2009

Featured on Episode 17 of the 2008-2009 season

 

Wild winter weather is sweeping across parts of the country, creating icy conditions on roadways and downing power lines in several states, including Ohio. Sandra Endo is in Washington, which was covered in snow yesterday, and gave us an update on the extreme weather conditions around the country. Parts of Ohio have been blanketed with up to a foot of snow. The ice and snow caused flights to be cancelled and thousands of people lost power. Many schools and colleges were forced to close. The snow created dangerous driving conditions and on many roads - traffic was at a standstill. But some kids in Washington County still managed to have fun.
