DHAKA: Wicked wintry weather that pummeled the West Coast is now barreling across the country, threatening to wreck millions of holiday travel plans just before Thanksgiving.

Scores of car crashes and 12 fatalities are blamed on the storm.

Nearly 200 flights out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport were canceled Monday, in addition to the nearly 300 canceled Sunday.

Parts of Lubbock, known for its warmth and flatness, turned into a snowboarding park as several inches of snow covered the western Texas city.

Sleet and freezing rain is possible beginning Tuesday from the southern Appalachians to parts of northern New England.

And by midweek, the storm will start zeroing in on the Northeast, the National Weather Service said. And that could spell more travel nightmares.
