Winter storm pummels Midwestern states ahead of New Year's Eve holiday
A forceful winter storm plowed through the Midwestern U.S. on Tuesday, canceling hundreds of flights, shuttering coronavirus testing sites and creating impossible conditions for drivers. The National Weather Service had issued winter storm advisories for Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Nebraska and Illinois. As the system traversed the Cornhusker State, Nebraska, the storm dumped more than 7 inches by Tuesday afternoon.
