BEIJING (AP) — Thousands of motorists were stuck on highways in central China as heavy snow snarled travel during the annual Lunar New Year rush.

Some flights and trains were canceled, stranding travelers for hours. The heavy snow was forecast to continue into Wednesday. Millions of people are heading home for the Lunar New Year on Saturday. Families traditionally gather for dinner the night before.
