KANSAS CITY, Missouri
(AP) -- Storms that roared through the Northwest and Rockies earlier in the week blew into the southern Plains and Midwest on Thursday, bringing the first significant ice and snow of the season.
A man was killed in a crash on an icy Oklahoma road.
The National Weather Service issued winter storm warnings from Texas to Illinois for Thursday and in some northern areas through noon Friday. Up to 12 inches of snow was possible in some portions of eastern Kansas, while others could see ice accumulations of more than an inch.
The day began with sleet, snow and freezing rain in northern Texas that forced the cancellation of 200 departures from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport and closed schools in some areas.
The precipitation and freezing temperatures glazed roads in much of the Panhandle, South Plains and Red River Valley. As much as 7 inches of snow fell overnight in parts of the Texas Panhandle, and it snowed as far west as El Paso.
Forecasters issued a rare blizzard warning Thursday for portions of Oklahoma as heavy snow, strong winds and freezing rain left roads slick and dangerous. Most schools and all nonessential state offices closed.
