United States: Cold air is spreading across the United States, and within a day or so, temperatures will be below average in nearly all of the country, which is rather unusual. If you were watching college football Saturday, you might have seen snow flying at some of the games in the Great Lakes. Yes, it’s that time of year again.
For an extended period of cold air and mostly dry weather, except for a storm system that will bring us rain — a cold rain — on Tuesday. The computer models had been hinting at a possible storm system on Friday that would’ve brought snow and ice to North Carolina’s higher elevations, but that storm is no longer being forecast.
