Runaway bus
Anton Bubnovskiy/Kansan
A Lawrence Bus Co. bus sits at the corner of 15th and Iowa streets after crashing into a stoplight. The bus, chartered by the KU Visitors Center, was in neutral with the engine running in the Visitors Center parking lot when it began moving, said Lawrence police officer Todd Polson. Polson said, after gaining momentum, the bus rolled up the hill and then through the Visitors Center grass and across the median, hitting the light.

The worst blizzard in seven years shut down much of the Northeast yesterday with blinding, windblown snow that piled up as much as 4 feet deep and left more than a quarter of a million homes and businesses shivering without power.
At least 21 deaths had been blamed on the storm system since it charged out of the Plains during the weekend, piling snow in the Ohio Valley, producing mudslides and floods in the southern Appalachians, and making layers of ice that snapped trees and power lines.
The storm was headed for New England, where Massachusetts
Blizzard hits Northeast, kills 21
expected up to 2 feet of snow and minor coastal flooding.
Airports for Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York largely shut down, stranding thousands of passengers trying to leave and get into the region. Amtrak's north-south service was halted between Washington and Richmond, Va., and regional bus service stopped in many areas.
The holiday meant there were few commuters, but police from Kentucky to Massachusetts pleaded with motorists to just stay home and some counties banned nonessential travel so they could clear the roads.
The western tip of Maryland was buried, with 49 inches of snow in
Garrett County on top of 30-foot drives left by earlier storms.
Elsewhere, 27 inches fell in West Virginia's Berkeley County, the National Weather Service said. The Seven Springs ski resort area on western Pennsylvania had 40 inches. In northern Virginia, Winchester had 30 inches and Linden, on the Blue Ridge, measured 35. To the west, some parts of Ohio reported ice 8 inches thick with other areas under 16 inches of snow.
It was one of the worst snowstorms in a century in Washington, where 16 inches fell. For the region as a whole, it was the worst snowstorm since the blizzard of 1996, when at least 80 deaths were blamed on the weather.
