QUICK HITS

1 Storm shuts airport: Denver’s airport was closed for a second day after a powerful late winter snowstorm dumped over 3 feet of heavy, wet snow on parts of Colorado and Wyoming, shutting down roads, closing state legislatures in both states and interfering with COVID- 19 vaccinations. The storm system had moved out of the region and into Nebraska by Monday.

2 Temp housing for teens: The U. S. government will house up to 3,000 immigrant teenagers at a convention center in downtown Dallas. The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center will be used this week and for about 90 days, according to a memo sent Monday to the Dallas City Council.

3 Sandstorm in China: The largest and strongest dust storm in a decade swept across northern China on Monday, casting a ghastly shroud over tens of millions of people — from Xinjiang in the far west across to the Bohai Sea, according to China’s meteorological service. It was churned up by a snowy squall that moved through Mongolia over the weekend.

4 Singing ban lifted: The Afghan government has reversed a ban by Kabul authorities on schoolgirls older than 12 singing in public at offifficial ceremonies after a mounting backlash, including a social media campaign of videos uploaded by Afghan girls and women singing their favorite songs in protest.

5 Arrest in 6- year- old’s death: A 14- year- old boy has been arrested in the death of a 6- yearold northern Indiana girl whose body was found in a wooded area, authorities said. Grace Ross was found dead Friday night in New Carlisle about two hours after she was reported missing, the St. Joseph County Metro Homicide Unit said. The cause of death has not been released.
