<p>A powerful winter storm roared across America&#8217;s upper Midwest with high winds and mounds of snow closing roads in several states and grounding more than 1,400 flights in Chicago.</p>
<p>At least four weather-related deaths were reported as the storm system that dumped nearly 2ft of snow in parts of Minnesota and caused the Metrodome&#8217;s inflatable Teflon roof to collapse moved east.</p>
<p>A blizzard warning was in effect for parts of eastern Iowa, south-eastern Wisconsin, north-western Illinois and northern Michigan, according to the National Weather Service. Surrounding areas, including Chicago, were under winter storm warnings and much of Iowa was under a wind-chill advisory.</p>
<p>The winter weather, with blowing snow that severely limited visibility, wreaked havoc on air and road travel.</p>
<p>In the Chicago area, wind gusts of up to 50mph, temperatures of minus 11 to minus 7 Celsius, and wind chills well below zero Fahrenheit (minus 18 C) were expected along with up to 8ins of snow.</p>
<p>More than 1,200 flights were cancelled at O&#8217;Hare International Airport and more than 250 were cancelled at Midway International Airport. Both airports expected more cancellations and reported significant delays.</p>
<p>Major highways in several states were closed due to poor driving conditions and accidents.</p>
<p>Illinois State Police closed a section of Interstate 80 in the north central part of the state after a multiple-car crash west of Peru.</p>
<p>Seven vehicles crashed on Interstate 94 west of Milwaukee, prompting authorities to close the westbound lanes. A vehicle lost control on an ice-covered road and slammed into a tree in south-eastern Wisconsin, killing 21-year-old Alejandria Abaunza of Chicago and injuring two other people inside.</p>
<p>In western Wisconsin, a 79-year-old man snow-blowing the end of his driveway was killed when a snowplough backed into him. The St Croix County Sheriff&#8217;s Department said Clifford Larson, of Woodville, died at the scene.</p>
