9 die in wintry crashes in several Midwestern states

At least nine people have died in weather-related crashes in several Midwestern states amid a storm that dumped nearly a foot of snow in places, forced schools to close and snarled traffic, authorities said. The wintry weather was part of a storm system that hit parts of the Midwest and was expected to extend into the Northeast through Tuesday, the National Weather Service said. In Missouri, the storm dumped 3 to 9 inches (7.6 to 22.9 centimeters) of snow across of the state.
