CHICAGO — Spring storms made for a soggy weekend from the Great Plains to the Gulf Coast, knocking out power to thousands in Chicago and, in a twist from Mother Nature, covering the Texas Panhandle with a foot of snow that melted a day later under balmy 70-degree weather.
Snow and sleet struck overnight Saturday in Illinois, where ComEd reported Sunday that about 10,000 customers remained without power, down from about 45,000. The National Weather Service said half a foot of snow fell north of Chicago, and O’Hare International Airport reported fewer than 75 flights canceled.
