Winter Tightens Its Grip

Again today, slightly more than 50% of the U.S. (48 continuous states) is covered with snow. All 50 states had one or more weather stations record temperatures below freezing.

In western New York where lake effect snow blizzards are occurring, officials are pleading with people not to travel into the stricken areas. Here is a photo from Lancaster, NY.

Next week (Thanksgiving travel week) looks stormy across the Lower 48. Stay tuned for coverage.
