DEADLY US SNOW STORM SPARKS CHAOS!
The latest deadly US winter storm of the season has wreaked chaos at one of America's busiest airports, sparked mass power cuts and claimed two lives.
Storm warnings are in force in a dozen central and north-eastern US states. More than 200 flights were cancelled at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.
Slippery roads have been blamed for the deaths of a 24-year-old Michigan woman and a 51-year-old woman in Wisconsin.
More than 100,000 customers are without electricity in parts of Pennsylvania.
Up to 12in (30cm) of snowfall is forecast around Pittsburgh on Sunday, said the National Weather Service.
Around Indianapolis, up to 7in (18cm) of snow is expected and 8in (20cm) is forecast in the Boston area.
Dozens of traffic accidents, most of them minor, have been blamed on vehicles sliding off icy roads.
The snowfall comes less than a week after an ice storm claimed 38 lives in the Midwest.
Tens of thousands of people in the affected areas of Oklahoma, Kansas and Missouri still have no electricity.
