A series of snowy and icy storms swept through the southern and
northeastern United States over the weekend, leaving at least five people dead
and causing the cancellation of thousands of flights -- including more than
1,000 just at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport on Sunday.
Some parts of north Texas received as much as four inches of sleet and ice --
a treacherous situation for drivers and travelers.
At least three storm-related deaths were
reported in the Dallas area Saturday and Sunday, according to police reports reviewed by the Dallas Morning News. A 26-year-old man died
after his car hit an icy patch and slammed into a tree; a 75-year-old woman died
after slipping on some ice in her yard; and a woman in her mid-40s was found
dead in a parking lot, possibly due to exposure to the cold, police said.
In Wisconsin, where some areas were expected to get six inches of snow
Sunday, at least two drivers died on snowy roads, according to the Milwaukee
Journal-Sentinel.
