| Snowstorm Pummels Southern Wisconsin
MADISON, Wis. -- Nearly a half-foot of snow has fallen in some parts of southern Wisconsin on Wednesday and several inches more are expected as a major winter storm sweeps through the state, WISC-TV reported. The storm is already making travel difficult by clogging the roads with snow and creating at times, near-whiteout conditions. The National Weather Service said that much snow accumulation is expected southeast of a line from Dubuque, Iowa, to Evansville to Jefferson to West Bend to Sheboygan. .
Internet entrepreneur, son killed in plane crash
Maine Public Safety Department spokesman Stephen McCausland said pending positive determination, the victims were believed to be Jeanette Symons of San Francisco, to whom the plane was registered, and one of her children. A co-founder with Symons of Industrious Kid, a company formed in 2005 to create online products for children with age-appropriate content, said Symons, 45, and her son Balan were returning to her home in Steamboat Springs, Colo., when the crash occurred in West Gardiner. "She's been flying for over 20 years. She's a top notch pilot," said Tim Donovan, the vice president of marketing at Industrious Kid, which is based in Oakland, Calif., and where Symons was chief executive officer. "She was very, very well known in the telecommunications industry," Donovan said, calling Symons a visionary.
