More winter weather headed for Midwest
Campus snowball fights
More snow expected Thursday for parts of the Midwest
Wednesday's blizzard conditions led to numerous travel delays
Madison, Wisconsin, received more than 17 inches of snow, shutting down college classes
(CNN) -- For those shoveling out from the blizzard that blanketed much of the Midwest earlier this week, Mother Nature has another gift for Thursday -- more snow.
The National Weather Service predicted fresh snow for parts of Kansas and Montana. A blizzard warning was still in effect for Michigan, which could see as much as eight more inches of snow Thursday, forecasters said.
Those midwestern states were predicted to have dangerously cold temperatures early Thursday, with wind chills dipping as low as 25 degrees below zero.
The first major storm of the season also brought blizzard conditions to some areas Wednesday, as gusty winds and blowing snow created whiteout conditions across much of the upper Midwest and Great Lakes regions.
High winds of at least 35 mph and rain to the east caused hundreds of flights to be delayed or canceled, stranding travelers.
An Arctic high-pressure system, or air mass, began moving southward from Canada on Wednesday, bringing frigid temperatures.
Madison, Wisconsin, received more than 17 inches of snow Wednesday, prompting the University of Wisconsin to cancel classes for the first time since 1990.
Campus police estimated that 3,000 students descended onto the school's Bascom Field on Wednesday afternoon for a snowball fight, with a few minor injuries reported, according to the university's Web site.
Early Wednesday, students began forming a giant snowball about six blocks from the campus and rolled it to an intersection near the university, former student Chad Krueger told CNN.
