MSNBC: Winter storm brings snow and ice, cancels over 400 flights
Hundreds of flights were canceled and millions of Americans faced a messy commute Monday as a winter storm began bringing snow and ice across the East and Midwest.
Much of the region was still shivering after a bitter blast of arctic air brought record-smashing temperatures to several cities over the weekend.
The freeze was joined by snow Sunday, with up to 5 inches falling across an area from Minnesota, through Missouri and Ohio and into North Carolina, according toThe Weather Channel.
