CHICAGO (AP) - Travelers temporarily stranded by a Midwest snowstorm are hoping to finally be on their way today.
    
The storm, which dumped more than a foot of snow in some areas, canceled more than 1,000 flights yesterday and caused whiteout conditions that are being blamed for traffic deaths in at least five states.
    
Most of the canceled flights were at Chicago's O'Hare and Midway international airports. Aviation officials said more than 350 flights were canceled at O'Hare and more than 150 at Midway.
    
Today, winter storm warnings have been issued for Pennsylvania.
