Major US winter blast shuts down government offices in several states, stirs dangerous travel conditions

Hindustan Times  

A major winter blast of snow, ice, wind and plunging temperatures in the U.S. stirred dangerous travel conditions from central and southern states all the way to the East Coast early Monday, prompting schools and government offices in several states to close. Photographer: Al Drago/Bloomberg Snow and ice blanketed major roads across Kansas, western Nebraska and parts of Indiana, where the state’s National Guard was activated to help stranded motorists. The Northeastern states are more likely to experience several days of cold after a mostly mild start to winter, said National Weather Service meteorologist Jon Palmer in Gray, Maine. Severe travel delays were expected to continue Monday as the storm moved into the Mid-Atlantic, where another 6 inches to 12 inches of snow were expected, the weather service's Weather Prediction Center warned.
