Winter storm takes aim at East

PHILADELPHIA (AP):

Some schools closed and air traffic was disrupted in Ohio, the Mid-Atlantic, and the Northeast as another winter storm bears down on the eastern United States only a day after temperatures soared into the 50s.

The National Weather Service says the storm could bring up to eight inches of snow to Philadelphia and New York, along with temperatures in the 30s.

The snowstorm made travel difficult for football fans trying to leave the New York area after Sunday's Super Bowl.

The flight-tracking website FlightAware reports about 1,300 delayed flights and 1,300 cancelled flights nationwide in cities including Philadelphia, Newark, NJ, and New York.

Inbound flights to Newark and Philadelphia were delayed three to four hours because of snow and ice.

Schools closings are reported in Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
