Other areas could be in for snow. Forecasters say up to 5 inches of snow could fall in the Nebraska Panhandle, and parts of South Dakota could receive as much as a foot.

The march of the so-called Immortal Regiment was part of today's commemorations of the 70th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany. Earlier, more than 16,000 troops took part in a military parade on Red Square.
