The coldest air mass of the season so far has swept from the Midwest into parts of the East, with widespread frost and freeze conditions and even the first snow of the season for some. Accumulating snow fell this weekend, especially near the Great Lakes. Flurries were widespread across the Northeast on Sunday.
