Snowstorm heads east after delaying travel and 'deflating' Metrodome

(CNN) -- A raging winter storm that dumped snow in parts of the Midwest over the weekend moved eastward Monday, bringing brutal wind chills, the possibility of even more snow and potential air travel delays.

In Cleveland, residents could see 5 to 9 inches of snowfall on Monday. By the end of this week, it could be covered in a few feet of snow, CNN meteorologist Jacqui Jeras said.

In Minneapolis, workers will continue trying to repair the roof of the massive Metrodome, which collapsed under the weight of snow. Meanwhile, school children there will get a day off. Minneapolis Public Schools called of classes for Monday as a result of heavy snows and dangerously cold temperatures.And airlines and passengers will continue to grapple with cancellations and delays as stranded travelers across the country become reluctant residents of airport terminals. High winds and snow in some locations will cause delays in some parts of the eastern United States.
