East and West States Switch Temperatures for a Week

Widespread Snowfall Whitens Western US

This week in the western United States, it snowed from Wyoming to New Mexico. It was partly due to the areas having the coolest temperatures since April. “Montana's Big Sky Resort received 20 inches of snow through Wednesday afternoon. Another 13 inches of snow covered Yellowstone National Park, and a daily record of 9.9 inches was measured in Flagstaff, Arizona, on Wednesday. The previous record was 5 inches set in 1926.”

While on the east coast, the states saw record highest in temperature, especially in Florida (as high as 92 degrees Fahrenheit). It was 80 degrees Fahrenheit in Philadelphia.

Most of this weather can be attributed to the strong shift in the El Nino.
