- 11 years ago
America's central plains struggling under the weight of snow.
A powerful winter storm has left at least three people dead, as it barreled toward Chicago Tuesday.

And in Chicago, the combination of snow, ice and winds threatened to create nightmarish travel conditions in the evening commute.
