Snow storms sweep across US

Highway and utility crews worked overtime today to recover from the huge storm that buried Ohio and other parts of the Midwest in snow and tore down power lines elsewhere.

Ohio had one traffic death linked to the weather, and four men died while shovelling snow. Two traffic deaths were blamed on the storm in western New York state and one in Tennessee. Two people were killed on Friday as tornadoes spun out of the eastern edge of the weather system in Florida.
