Another snowstorm is sweeping over the East Coast, closing schools, sending government workers home early and grounding planes.
NEW YORK (AP) - Another snowstorm is sweeping over the East Coast, closing schools, sending government workers home early and grounding planes.
Philadelphia commuter Elliot Self says he fell three times trying to get off steps after leaving an elevated train. Northwest in Hatfield Township, Pa., residents saw lightning in a rare thundersnow, a thunderstorm with heavy snow instead of rain.
Some snowbanks in the Northeast are so high drivers can't see around corners.
Police on New York's Long Island say a pickup truck plowing a snow-covered parking lot struck and killed a woman Wednesday afternoon.
Snow and icy roads even created hazardous conditions for President Barack Obama as he returned to the White House after a trip to Manitowoc, Wis. First, the weather grounded his helicopter. Then his motorcade ride home took an hour instead of the usual 20 minutes.
