Authorities have reported that a storm that dumped snow in the Midwest and the southern Plains as spring began has been blamed for at least one death.

AccuWeather. com reported that the snow was expected to end by Sunday evening in eastern Oklahoma, western Arkansas and far northeastern Texas, while frozen southwestern Missouri was expected to begin thawing. The Kansas City Star has reported that as much as 3 more inches of snow could fall from northeastern Oklahoma into southwestern Missouri, bringing the total to as much as a foot in some areas, forecasters said. In Kansas City, Mo., Saturday's 6.7 inches of snow broke a record set in 1892, when 2.8 inches fell.

A 21-year-old man died due to slippery roads when his car hit a tow truck after he lost control Saturday on U. S. 169 in Johnson County.

Forecasters have warned that with heavy winds, drifting snow would continue to cover roads and reduce visibility.

Temperatures in the 50s and 60s in the southern Plains were expected to melt snow quickly. (With Inputs from Agencies)
