AP News in Brief
Another messy, snowy morning in winter-weary Northeast; many in South still waiting for power
• PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- Commuters face a messy morning of travel a day after a winter storm brought snow and ice to many states, leaving at least 21 dead, including a pregnant woman struck by a mini-plow in New York City whose baby was then born by cesarean section in critical condition.
• The next go-round of bad weather began early Friday in some places -- just in time to delay tens of thousands of deliveries of Valentine's Day flowers.
• The sloppy mix of snow and face-stinging sleet grounded more than 6,500 flights nationwide on Thursday and closed schools, businesses and government centers. About 1.2 million utility customers lost power as the storm moved from the South through the Northeast, dropping to about 550,000 outages, mostly in South Carolina and Georgia.
• "Every time it snows, it's like, "Oh, not again,'" said Randal DeIvernois of New Cumberland, Pa., which had about 10 inches of snow by midafternoon Thursday. "I didn't get this much snow when I lived in Colorado."
• The treacherous weather was blamed for nearly two dozen deaths, many of them in motor vehicle accidents.
