HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - A mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain iced over roads from Delaware up into northern New England on Tuesday, making for a messy morning commute.
Hundreds of East Coast schools were closed or delayed their openings, while collisions slowed traffic on highways and local roads throughout the region.
In Wallingford, Conn., about 90 passengers on an Amtrak train were put on buses Tuesday morning after it struck a FedEx delivery truck that became stuck on the tracks.
No injuries were reported.
Several airports remained open Tuesday but delayed or canceled flights, including airports in New York, New Jersey Baltimore and Washington, D.C., as well as Connecticut's Bradley International Airport.
