Any American family thinking their soldier is coming home soon from Iraq may be in for a nasty surprise.

All flights out of there for troops at the end of their deployment are canceled, while the military tries to figure out how to make Baghdad safe.

President Bush had said earlier this week that soldiers in other parts of Iraq would go to the capital.

Defense officials say commanders are working out the details of a plan to move as many as five-thousand soldiers with tanks and armored vehicles.

They'd team up with Iraqi police and army units, turning every Baghdad operation into a joint effort.

America now has about 130,000 troops in Iraq, with 30,000 in the capital.

"Be Prepared" is Good Motto for Storm Coverage
Over in the KKTV 11 Weather Center, the radar's showing the snow moving in. Chief Meteorologist Brian Bledsoe says this storm has the potential to bring the most snow we've seen in 5 and 1/2 years, so it is "all hands on deck" and "batten down the hatches", as the newsroom makes its own preparations for this Groundhog Day Storm.
