PORTLAND, Maine -- Black ice, snow showers and fog pestered post-holiday travelers in the Midwest on Monday while the Northeast geared up for its first major snowstorm of the season.

More than 8 inches of snow fell at Chicago O'Hare International Airport over the weekend, according to the National Weather Service. The previous record was set in 1951.

Dozens of flights into and out of O'Hare remained canceled or delayed there into Monday, and commuting conditions on roads were expected to remain dangerous in some areas well into Monday night.

In the Northeast, some parts of northern New England were expecting up to 10 inches of snow. A windy, potentially icy storm was headed to the region, and could soak some parts of the region's six states while piling snow in others, forecasters said.
