Spring is in the air as heavy snow blasts US Midwest

A general view of downtown Minneapolis and the Mississippi River on April 11 2019 in Minneapolis, the US. Picture: GETTY IMAGES/AFP/STEPHEN MATURENA powerful blizzard slammed the US Plains and Midwest on Thursday with heavy snow and fierce winds that caused power outages and closed highways while raising fears of more flooding in the Midwest after a deluge in March. The system was dumping more than 0.

Local media reported dozens of crashes and cars in ditches as several major highways and roads were shut down in parts of the U.S. Plains and Midwest. Some counties issued"no travel" advisories, warning drivers to stay off the roads. The blizzard, dubbed a"bomb cyclone" because of its rapidly intensifying funnel shape, is the second one to hit the region over the past month.
