TWC: The NOHRSC analysis says that 66.4 percent of the Lower 48 was covered by snow or ice as of Sunday morning. That’s the highest coverage so far this winter season in the U.S.

Some of the deepest snowpack across the nation was in the northern Plains, Great Lakes snowbelts, northern Maine and the mountain West.

If you are wondering about Hawaii, yes, there was snow on ground there too.  MORE

  1. we need to start a movement …. hats, t-shirts, bumper stickers …‘Bring Back Global Warming!’

    listen boys & girls … when the temperature is warm, like when the Luddites & Gubmint declare CO2 a ‘greenhouse gas’, life thrives … that’s what we call ‘a good thing’
    when the temperature goes down, life dies … not ‘a good thing’

  2. We average 10 feet a year here. Moved up from LI over 45 years ago and getting mighty tired of the white stuff. And the drifts in front of the house are brutal. After one blizzard I had to start shoveling over my head and I was a foot off the ground on the porch when I started. Retiring will help as I won’t have to drive in it nearly so much.

  3. First snow of the year near the Chesapeake Bay, 8″ yesterday. balmy 18 outside. Half mile driveway, just drove up and down until it all went flat, that’s plowing here. I would consider it a blessing if palm trees would last all year. Bring it on!

  4. @99th, About 15+ years ago I was researching a hearty pasture grass for our horses. Found it and contacted the salesman in FL.

    The hybrid grass was advertised at being drought resistant and hearty between 17 & 103 degrees. I asked the salesman, “how do you think it would do in a wider margin of extremes?” He asks, “like what?” I said, “110/113 degrees to -10 degrees.” No kidding, he asks, “holy crap, where do you live?” I said, “California,” to which he replied (literally), “Bull S…” I gave him my shipping address and he still couldn’t believe it. -9 just a few days ago….

    CA is a beautiful and diverse state. It’s not just beaches and bikinis. The only problem is… it’s located in California.

  5. Bad_Brad, a Colorado cowboy would not be far off if I could live another lifetime. Alas, I’m originally a Ilinoisan who tranplanted to North Carolina 32 yrs ago.
    NC is beautiful – beaches, mountains and everything in between. Just wish it snowed and was colder a little more often in the winter.
    People who love all things summer, good for you. A year long summer would give me nightmares. To each his own.
    @BigGun, yes, I know California has a variety of environments and weather patterns, but the overwhelming leftist vibe is maddening. You’re a brave soul. Great story, btw.

  6. I live in SLC, UT. The only reason I like winter and snow is that it collects in the mountains and give us water for summer. My ideal winter weather is “valley rain and mountain snow”. Unfortunately, most of the time we get snow in the valley as well as the mountains. Oh, well.

  7. I’m going snowmobiling for the next few days, I’ve been cheering on a storm system that should hit Northern Wisco this afternoon. I’m leaving in 3 hours!

  8. On Thursday it was 9 degrees and snow-covered here in S. OR. I don’t think the palm trees at the In-N-Out Burger are going to survive. Single digits and snow are rare here.

  9. DC just got its first snow (Saturday morning, and over by 2 pm). Only an inch of dry fluffy flakes, but enough to turn the city into a ghost town. Deserted roads, little traffic, and few pedestrians.
    Yesterday was 19′ with steady 20 mph winds.

    Too far out to forecast, but if it’s really cold here Jan 20 I expect the planned inauguration protests will fizzle.
    Snowflakes are easily discouraged.
