MINNEAPOLIS (Reuters) - A blizzard dumped heavy snow on the midwestern United States, disrupting highway and air travel on Tuesday as it moved east toward the Ohio Valley and the mid-Atlantic states.
More than 1,000 flights were canceled in and out of Chicago's O'Hare and Midway airports and nearly 100 more were canceled in and out of Minneapolis-St.Paul International Airport, according to the FlightAware.com flight tracking service.
Heavy snow and patches of ice made driving difficult along the highways in parts of North Dakota, Minnesota and northwest Illinois on Tuesday. Chicago was forecast to get 6 to 10 inches of snow.
