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.”
Late winter blast smacks the Northeast with snow – Alison Kosik reports
Spring may be just hours away, but the chill is here to stay in some parts of the United States.
Blowing snow forced the closure of many roads and highways from North Dakota to Minnesota. In the Northeast, snow, ice and rain turned roads in the New York City area into slick, slippery messes overnight. Boston is meanwhile bracing for up to six inches of snow today and the New England Mountains could see up to a foot of snow.
Alison Kosik is live in Concord, New Hampshire with more on the late winter blast on "Early Start" this morning.
