Winter storm Petros has already delivered more than 10 inches of snow to many towns in the tri-state area, and could continue to pound the Midwest with snow and wind.
A number of schools closed on Wednesday and Thursday because of Petros, Michigan Live reports, and departures were halted at Midway International Airport in Chicago.
