Huge winter storm slams Midwest, Northeast

A huge winter storm pummeled the United States, bringing parts of the Midwest to a standstill, delivering another wintry swipe to the Northeast and disrupting flights and other transport. The storm, touching some 30 states and a third of the U.S. population, stretched from New Mexico to Maine and included another blast of winter in New York City. Power was cut to hundreds of thousands of people.
