While the huge blizzard bearing down on the
Midwest is largely bypassing Minnesota, the state is still being
affected.


      Airlines have canceled numerous flights at Minneapolis-St. Paul
International Airport Tuesday.


      Airport spokesman Pat Hogan says the airlines haven't provided
figures, but he says the number is high, and they include flights
to Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin and other states to the south and
east in the path of the storm. KSTP-TV counted at least 84.


      Hogan says the airlines have been warning passengers ahead of
time, but he still expects some travelers will be stuck Tuesday
night.


      Another storm dumped as much as 12 inches of snow on southern
Minnesota Monday. Dozens of rural school districts are closed or
starting classes two hours late Tuesday due to the blowing snow.
