MSN News Report: Travel bans, power outagesIn Ohio, the winter blast was blamed for the death of a 9-year-old girl struck by a falling tree limb and the State Highway patrol was investigating the death of a man who was driving a tractor-trailer when it ran off the road and into a ditch and hit a tree.
Sheriff’s offices in several west, northwest and north central Ohio counties closed roads to all but emergency workers Wednesday morning, many extending bans that began Tuesday; anyone else caught driving could be arrested.
Power outages were reported in several states, among them Maryland with 107,000 customers losing and at least 108,000 in Ohio, mostly because of ice snapping power lines.
Schools across Ohio remained closed Wednesday for a second day, many exceeding the five days allowed for bad weather or other emergencies, meaning they’ll be required to make up the days.
Classes also were canceled at several college campuses, including Ohio State, and Cleveland Municipal Court was closed Wednesday. In Columbus, supervisors were told they could allow nonessential employees to report to work two hours late.
More than 14,000 customers were blacked out in northern Kentucky.
