Heavy, wet snow made for treacherous roads and delayed commutes Friday as a huge winter storm that stretched from Texas to the Great Lakes blanketed the nation's midsection "If you don't have to be out here, don't," said Ty Wilson, a very wet Chicago bicycle messenger, as he stopped along a slushy street between morning deliveries.
Just more than 5 inches was reported at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport by Friday morning. About 500 flights were canceled at the airport.
To the south, at least 12 inches of snow was reported in Springfield by Friday morning, said National Weather Service meteorologist Stephen Rodriguez.
The storm headed for the Northeast, where ice and rain caused numerous accidents in parts of New Jersey early Friday and led to delays of two hours on arriving flights at Newark Liberty International Airport.
