Snow and snow showers are expected from the central Great Lakes to the upper Mississippi Valley. Gusty winds will add to the chill over the Plains. Temperatures are forecast to rebound south of the rain area in the Carolinas. Some rain will fall in the Northwest.

Stocks also rose on expec - tations that the conflict be- tween Russia and the West wouldn't escalate further. Russia's President Vladi- mir Putin is preparing to complete the annexation of the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, but he said Tues - day that he won't take over other areas of Ukraine. The stock market is re- covering this week after logging its biggest weekly drop in almost two months. The S&P 500 has gained 1.7 percent this week after dropping almost 2 percent last week on concerns about slowing growth in China and tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine. The annexation of Crimea "is a horrible thing for the world in the long term," said Uri Landesman, president of Platinum Partners. "But the market doesn't want un - rest." The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 13.42 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,872.25. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 88.97 points, or 0.6 percent, to 16,336.19. The Nasdaq com - posite climbed 53.36 points, or 1.3 percent, to 4,333.31. The stock market also got a boost from two technology companies. Microsoft jumped af - ter Reuters reported that CEO Satya Nadella plans to use his first big press event March 27 to unveil an iPad version of the company's Of - fice software suite. Analysts regard this as a first step for Nadella in repositioning Mi- crosoft as a company that focuses on mobile devices rather than the shrinking market for personal com - puters. The company's stock climbed $1.50, or 3.9 per- cent, to $39.55, its highest level since July, 2000. Hewlett-Packard rose $1.08, or 3.7 percent, to $30.56 after analysts at Bar - clays upgraded their outlook on the hardware company and raised their price tar- get on the stock to $38 from $33. They expect HP to re- turn more cash to sharehold- ers and gain market share in the server business from ri- vals in coming months. Stocks opened higher after Putin told the Rus- sian Parliament not to be- lieve those who say that the country will look to take over other areas of Ukraine. The stock market also got a lift from a report that showed inf lation remains tame, despite a big rise in the cost of food. The consumer price in - dex rose 0.1 percent in Feb- ruary, matching January's increase, the Labor Depart- ment said Tuesday. In the past 12 months, prices have risen just 1.1 percent, the smallest yearly gain in five months. That means that the Fed - eral Reserve can continue to provide stimulus to the econ- omy and focus on reducing unemployment and boost- ing economic growth with- out having to worry that its policies are stoking inflation. Fed policymakers started their second meeting of the year on Tuesday. The meet - ing will end Wednesday and be followed by an early af- ternoon press conference by Fed Chair Janet Chair- man. Most analysts expect the Fed to continue to re- duce its economic stimulus by cutting back on its bond purchases.
