Close to 50 miles in Bedford,
Amherst and Nelson counties are shut
down as workers try to clean up tree
limbs and debris following a February
ice storm.

Part of the reason why the pick
up process is taking so long is because
the district says it only has three
workers.

Staffing is a problem these days.

Sometime after the troop returned

Airline officials say Friday's
snow storm along the East Coast knocked
them off schedule.

In all, three thousand six
hundred planes were grounded in a two
day period.

On top of that, one carrier
reportedly kept passengers waiting on
the tarmac for 14 hours.

Pilots are blaming another big
hiccup on a shortage of de-icing fluid
which made it impossible to takeoff.

*CG locator Near Mount Ruapehu, New
Zealand A potentially lethal mix of mud,
acidic water and rocks tore down the
slope of New Zealand's Mount Ruapehu.

The mud flow, also known as a
lahar, broke through a rubble wall atop
the mountain's crater lake, which
triggered an early warning alarm.

There was no immediate threat to
life and no reported injuries.

But police and civil defence
workers immediately closed roads and
the nation's main trunk rail track near
the southern base of the mountain on
New Zealand's North Island.
