Severe storms all around the U.S.

As we discussed on Friday, the New England region of the U.S. was expecting to get hit pretty hard with a severe storm that was forecasted to cover the region with large amounts of snowfall. Well, the forecasts were right. As we can see, there were many areas that received more than 3 feet of snow!


While being on the subject of severe weather in the U.S. it's probably appropriate to shift our focus to another another region that is also experiencing severe weather at this time. States located in the South are experiencing severe storms and tornadoes. Currently, a total of 8 tornadoes that have been reported with more expected to come.


These storms have almost lined up with another essentially forming their own front. Winds speeds of up to 60 mph have been reported in some areas.




Icky, I'm glad I'm not in either of these 2 regions right now! We will come back to this tomorrow and see what became of the storms.

Local weather conditions aren't the best; however, they are much better than what was just reported on. Today started off as nice but around noon heavy, wet snow started to fall quite steadily. The high for today was reported as 34F at 3:45pm. Tonight's low is forecasted to be 30F, with variable cloud cover and a 30% chance of snow showers. So, it won't get really cold, but it will get cold enough for the wet snow to freeze. This will create icy road conditions for the morning. I am anticipating a lot of rural school districts will be closed tomorrow. I also except another slow drive to school in the morning. Oh golly, guess I'll have to head out early again. I'll let you how conditions turn out locally and nation wide. This is a crazy time to be reporting on weather patterns and conditions.
