 OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - Holiday travelers battled slick, icy roads and flight cancellations and delays on Wednesday as a major winter storm began to spread across much of the nation's midsection — and the worst of the weather was still expected to come.
The slow-moving storm was likely to intensify Thursday as it continued its trek north and east, bringing heavy snow, sleet and rain to a large swath of the Plains and the Midwest. A foot or two of snow was possible in some areas by Christmas Day.
"It's an usually large storm, even for the Plains," said Scott Whitmore, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Topeka, Kan.
