PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Officials say a flight that landed safely in Pittsburgh during the storm last night got stuck in snow for about two hours on the tarmac.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (http://bit.ly/W3kB0S ) reports that the American Airlines flight arrived between 8 and 9 p.m., but then ran over a snow patch and got stuck.

Airport spokeswoman Joan Jenny says workers tried for nearly two hours to tow the plane to the gate before deciding to bus passengers to the terminal.

No injuries are being reported.
