West Virginia daily

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - A rare late spring snowstorm dumped up to a foot of snow on parts of the Midwest Sunday, knocking out power to thousands of customers and postponing a Major League Baseball game for the second day in a row.

Slippery pavement caused spinouts but no injuries were reported, officials said.

The two-day storm brought temperatures 25 degrees below the normal of around 60 as snow fell across parts of Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina.

''My wife is livid because this was a long winter. ... Even people who normally don't complain about it are at the end of their wits,'' said Frank Hanley, who said he had a foot of heavy, wet snow on his deck in the northeastern Ohio town of Chardon.

Accumulations of up to 18 inches were possible in parts of eastern Michigan, while Detroit's northern suburbs were expected to receive 5 to 11 inches, meteorologists said. In Ohio, suburbs were to get about 8 inches.

By midday Sunday, about 5 inches of snow had fallen on Grandfather Mountain in western North Carolina.
