TOMS RIVER, N.J. (AP) — More severe weather is barrelling across the U.S. A major spring storm is expected to drop more than a foot of snow in parts of New England on Wednesday, while heavy rains are likely to soak 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 are expected to impact the Mid-Atlantic states south to Florida, while heavy, wet snow will persist across Wisconsin and Upper Michigan.
