Powerful storm lashes eastern U.S. with snow, arctic cold  Monday, Mar 03, 2014 04:14 PM PST By Ian Simpson WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A deadly winter storm hit the U.S. East Coast with freezing rain, snow and near-record cold on Monday, cancelling about 2,900 flights, shutting down Washington and closing schools and local governments. The latest in a series of weather systems to pummel the winter-weary eastern United States, the storm dumped about 4 inches of snow on the U.S. capital by early afternoon as it swept from the Mississippi Valley to the Atlantic coast, the National Weather Service said. Brian Hurley, a weather service meteorologist, said temperatures would be about 30 degrees Fahrenheit (15 degrees Celsius) below normal as a cold front settled in from Great Plains to the Atlantic coast. Icy roads in Virginia were blamed for at least one death on Monday morning when a 30-year-old man drove his pickup truck into an embankment, flipping the vehicle and striking a tree, Virginia State Police said.

Many colleges also closed shop for the day due to the conditions -- including Georgetown University, where only emergency employees were required to report to work on time. The National Weather Service (NWS) said a winter storm warning would remain in effect until 6 pm (2300 GMT) and that four to eight inches (10 to 20 centimeters) of snow were expected. Full Story	Top
Strong truck demand offsets sliding Canadian car sales  Monday, Mar 03, 2014 02:22 PM PST By Susan Taylor TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian auto sales chugged 2.4 percent higher in February as record-setting truck sales helped offset slumping demand for cars and severe winter weather, an independent auto industry analyst said on Monday.
