Heavy snow and freezing temperatures swept through the Upper Midwest on Monday, with parts of Minnesota, Montana and Wisconsin getting around a foot of powder, triggering flight cancellations and hundreds of car crashes as the roads turned into ice. More than 100 schools were closed and Veterans Day activities were called off because of the sudden onset of winter weather. Seven million people were under winter storm warnings from Montana to Michigan ahead of the arctic blast of frosty temperatures that will reach the East Coast later this week. By late afternoon, Whitefish, Montana, had been hit by 14 inches of snow, while Webster, Wisconsin, and Isanti and St. Augusta in Minnesota had 11 inches, according to the National Weather Service. Several others areas had five to 10 inches of snow.
