Winter's grip holds over parts of New England and Midwest – Chris Welch reports

Today is officially the first day of spring, but for much of the country the winter chill remains.

A late season snowstorm left New Hampshire and Boston under several inches of snow Tuesday. And more snow is expected to fall in parts of New England and the upper Midwest where below freezing temps make the first day of spring feel like the dead of winter.

CNN's Chris Welch is live in Minneapolis this morning with more. “Winter’s grip appears far from over,” Welch says. “From the Midwest to New England, late season winter storms bringing as much as 15" of snow in some areas, leading to another round of school closures and travel nightmares.”
