"An estimated 50 million Americans are having a snowy Tuesday as a wintry storm moves from southwest Virginia to the New England shoreline. The snow will last up to eight hours, and forecasters are expecting two to seven inches to fall throughout the Northeast. &amp;quot;What we really have is a fast but generally weak system moving across the mid-Atlantic region,&amp;quot; said Brian Korty of the National Weather Service. Unsurprisingly, the flurries have caused airports to go into a frenzy. Flights destined for New Jersey&amp;#039;s Newark International Airport and New York&amp;#039;s LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy International Airports are experiencing delays, with more than 1,000 flights being canceled altogether. The chaotic climate halted things in the capital, as well, with public-school students and non-emergency federal workers getting a snow day. Schools are also closed in Philadelphia and parts of Maryland. In Nevada, winter weather turned tragic when 25-year-old Christina MacIntee, her 34-year-old boyfriend James Glanton, Glanton&amp;#039;s two children and MacIntee&amp;#039;s nephew and niece vanished on Sunday. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s been extremely hard, probably the hardest 24 to 36 hours of my life,&amp;quot; said Amanda Fitzpatrick, the mother of one of the missing children. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s my baby girl.&amp;quot; The group went to a secluded area in the mountains to play in the snow, and they never came back. The next day, the temperature was minus-16\u00B0F in the isolated region where they disappeared. Intense rescue efforts are currently underway to locate them.   Our thoughts are with the families of James Glanton, Christina MacIntee and the four children. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
