US: Hundreds of flights canceled as Midwest braces for snowstorm
A winter storm blanketed much of the central Midwest with snow Sunday at the end of the Thanksgiving weekend, bringing blizzard-like conditions that grounded hundreds of flights and forced the closure of major highways on one of the busiest travel days of the year. With much of the central plains and Great Lakes region under blizzard or winter storm warnings, more than 1,000 flights headed to or from the US had been canceled as of 4:30 pm Sunday. Most were supposed to be routed through Chicago or Kansas City — areas forecast to be hit hard by the storm. Strong winds and snow created blizzard conditions across much of Nebraska and parts of Kansas, Iowa and Missouri. The National Weather Service was warning those conditions would make travel difficult in places. <br/>
