Wintry weather bedeviled
Thanksgiving weekend travelers across the
United States Saturday as a powerful and dangerous storm moved eastward, dumping heavy snow from parts of
California to the northern Midwest and inundating other areas with rain.
A 5-year-old boy died and two other children were missing in central
Arizona after a vehicle was swept away while attempting to cross a runoff-swollen creek.
The National Weather Service said the storm was expected to drop 6 to 12 inches (15-30 centimeters) of snow from the northern Plains states into Minnesota, Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.
