From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Bitter cold and more snow hit the upper Midwest on the heels of a confined but ferocious blizzard that closed highways and left hundreds of children stranded in schools overnight. In St. Paul.

In several western Minnesota counties hard hit by the storm, children were kept in school for the night because bus drivers couldn’t see the road to take them home.
