KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — About 150 people from the Kansas City area who were stranded for 22 hours because of the East Coast snowstorm are back on the road again.
The group occupied four buses that traveled to Washington, D.C., for the annual March for Life.
Deacon Rick Boyle of the Church of the Good Shepherd in Smithville told The Kansas City Star by email Sunday that the group left Bedford, Pennsylvania, early Sunday after staying overnight as guests of the American Legion Post 113 there.
About two-thirds of those in the traveling group were under age 20.
They’re expected to make it home early Monday.
Airline, passenger rail and bus services were dramatically curtailed by the blizzard, which dumped nearly 28 inches of snow on Central Park in New York City. That makes it the second-largest blizzard ever to hit the Big Apple since records began.
At Kansas City International Airport, officials strongly suggested that you call your airline directly before heading to the airport for flights to the eastern U.S.
