Utility crews in Wisconsin were hard at work on Sunday to restore power to over 6,000 residents affected by a severe winter storm that struck the Midwest. The storm, which unloaded heavy snowfall across the Great Lakes region, resulted in major disruptions including the closure of the airport in Des Moines, Iowa, after an icy runway incident. In western Michigan, many churches opted for online services, asking congregants to stay home due to dangerous travel conditions. As many areas saw nearly a foot of snow, meteorologists warned that another storm was on the way, potentially hitting the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast, making this the first significant snowfall of the season in those regions.
