SNOW and rain storms that have battered much of the United States for days have started subsiding, leaving behind concerns about flooding in some areas.
Storms from Texas to the Upper Midwest dumped 60.7 centimeters of snow in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and 45.7 centimeters near Norfolk, Nebraska. In the East, higher temperatures and rains have started melting and washing away last week's record-setting snowfalls, threatening the region with flooding.
The National Weather Service also issued flood warnings for parts of the South and Midwest, and winter weather advisories were in effect in Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana and Michigan.
Winter weather has been blamed for more than 20 deaths across the country in the past week. One of the latest was an 81-year-old Iowa man whose body was found in a ditch on Friday after his truck got stuck in the snow and he tried to walk home.
