It melted in the afternoon but roads and bridges were expected to ice over at night. Roads were covered by slush and meteorologist predicted all that stuff was going to freeze again. Warnings of winter storm were posted from Tennessee to New England. Snow caused problems also in Philadelphia. Roads were closed because of a lot of car accidents in the evening. They became at the time of rush hour. A highway was closed after trees fell down from a bluff in western Kentucky. Several cars were damaged. More than 250 vehicles stayed abandoned and thousands of homes and businesses lost power. Schools were closed in Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, and Pennsylvania and classes at Southern Illinois University had to be canceled.
