CHICAGO - More snow fell across the northern states Thursday as a deadly storm that already had grounded hundreds of flights, postponed a baseball game and disappointed those longing for the warmth of spring moved eastward.

A jet landing at Traverse City, Mich., skidded 50 feet off a runway in the heavy snow early Thursday. The 46 passengers and three crew members were unhurt, Pinnacle Airlines spokesman Phil Reed said.

Six deaths elsewhere were blamed on the slick conditions.

The worst of the storm blew into the Northeast, where the National Weather Service posted storm warnings Thursday for much of northern New England, forecasting up to a foot of snow through today in some areas.

Forecasters expected up to 10 inches in parts of New Hampshire. Up to 8 inches were expected in central Maine, already hit this month with a storm that knocked out power across the state.

Parts of the Midwest got more than 9 inches of snow Wednesday and Thursday, with another inch or more expected as the snow tapered off during the day.

Colorado was expecting the worst of the storm today, when up to 18 inches of snow was expected to fall in the Rocky Mountain foothills.
