PHILADELPHIA — Some schools are closing and air traffic is disrupted in Ohio, the Mid-Atlantic and the Northeast as another winter storm bears down on the eastern U.S., only a day after temperatures soared into the 50s.

The National Weather Service said the storm could deliver up to 8 inches of snow Monday to Philadelphia and New York, along with temperatures in the 30s.
