TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — More severe weather is barreling across the U.S. A major spring storm was underway and expected to bring more than a foot of snow in parts of New England on Wednesday night, while heavy rains are soaking the East Coast. Meanwhile, cleanup work continues in several states wracked Tuesday by tornadoes and other intense weather that was blamed for at least two deaths. The National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for several states in New England, with parts of New Hampshire and Maine seeing the highest amounts. Heavy rains and severe thunderstorms were impacting the Mid-Atlantic states south to Florida, while heavy, wet snow was persisting across Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.
