NEW YORK -- A storm system that clobbered the Midwest moved into the Tri-State area on Friday, grounding more hundreds of flights and giving schoolchildren an early start to the holiday break. And more snow is on the way for Sunday.

On Saturday, pockets of light freezing rain or light freezing drizzle and light snow are making roads treacherous for Tri-State Area motorists. In fact, the roads are so icy in West Nyack, a snowplow slid and crashed into a house.
