Full ground stop at Chicago O’Hare airport amid winter storm battering Midwest

A winter storm was pounding parts of the Upper Midwest with heavy snow and making travel treacherous Friday. The Federal Aviation Administration halted all flights in and out of Chicago's O'Hare Airport.

Earlier Friday, a plane slid off an icy taxiway at Kansas City International Airport. The Delta Air Lines flight was taxiing to be de-iced before flying to Detroit when the nosegear slipped off the taxiway, said Delta spokeswoman Martha Witt. There were no reports of injuries aboard the Airbus A319, which was carrying 123 passengers and a crew of six. Witt said the airline was trying to put passengers from Delta flight 1114 on other planes.

“If there is travel you don’t need to make, consider postponing it,’’ said meteorologist Ricky Castro. The slippery conditions come after the National Weather Service issued winter weather advisories, saying the storm will create hazardous travel conditions from the Plains into the Northeast through the weekend. Snow is forecast over much of the Great Lakes, with a blizzard warning for parts of the Upper Midwest.
