OMAHA, Neb. – Drifting snow and cold rain that have plagued much of the country for days stranded drivers and airline passengers Saturday trying to get home after Christmas.

Storms from Texas to the Upper Midwest that dumped 23.9 inches of snow in Grand Forks, N.D., and 18 inches near Norfolk, Neb., began subsiding, but blowing and drifting snow hampered visibility in many areas.

Warmer temperatures and rains in the East began melting and washing away last week's record-setting snowfalls, threatening the region with flooding.

A woman and her teenage daughter in Middletown, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia, were rescued from a rain-swollen creek after their went off the road Saturday. Rescue workers found the 14-year-old clinging to a log; her mother was trapped in the car.

Middletown, PA is near Harrisburg, state capital near the middle of the state. Philly is the a**hole of the state in the SE corner.
