Weather Highlight
The large, spring-like storm system
providing rain today has already caused significant
problems for parts of the Midwest and deep South. These
problems included heavy snow, torrential rain, and severe
thunderstorms. In addition, icy conditions hampered
travel from Illinois to Colorado and Texas. Ice was also
to blame for the recent airplane accident which killed
two Oklahoma State basketball players.
