-
Dec 22, 2008GeneralPeople in the nation’s frozen midsection are dealing with the aftermath of a cold snap stretching from the Midwest to the Northeast.
Detroit Public Radio’s Quinn Klinefelter has more…
On the heels of a foot of snowfall…residents in Michigan and states nearby dealt with bone-numbing cold…and wind chills hovering around zero.
Icy roads and blowing snow led to numerous traffic accidents throughout the Midwest…including a 30-car pile-up along Interstate 94 in Michigan’s Berrien County.
Just south of the border between Michigan and Indiana…near South Bend…four Marines were killed after their car crossed the median on the icy Indiana Toll Road and was hit by a semi-truck.
And residents are bracing for more bad weather.
Forecasts call for an additional half-foot of snowfall in the coming days.
