EAST ELMHURST, Queens (WABC) -- The holiday getaway is now the race to return home.

A winter storm blanketed much of the central Midwest with snow on Sunday, bringing blizzard-like conditions that grounded hundreds of flights and forced major highways to close one of the busiest travel days of the year.
