ALBANY, New York (AP) -- A storm system slid across the Northeast with snow, sleet and freezing rain Sunday, glazing roads and tying up air travel after blacking out thousands of customers in the Midwest.
At least 11 traffic deaths have been blamed on weather-related traffic accidents.
Winter storm warnings were in effect into Monday in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine and into Tuesday in parts of New York state. On the other side of the weather system, warnings were issued for parts of Michigan, where freezing rain and sleet was predicted to turn to all snow late Sunday.
The National Weather Service said a foot of snow was possible in the mountains of northern New England, with the potential for 20 inches in northern Maine. In higher elevations of upstate New York, 13 inches of snow was possible. Lake-effect snow and high winds were forecast for parts of Michigan and western New York.
"It's kind of a mess -- probably the best way to term it in one word," meteorologist Bob Kilpatrick said in Albany.
Three to 6 inches had fallen by Sunday afternoon in central New York state, and parts of New Jersey measured less than 3.
