Extreme Winter Weather


For some parts of the US like the great plains and the midwest, the winter has already come and settled in.  Starting as early as the end of october, regions all across the United States have felt the icy breath of winter.  Examples of this are the rockies, mississippi valley and Northwest.  Joining these areas in mid november are "much of the midwest and east".

According to the Accumulated Winter Season Severity Index, twelve cities have already been hit by what is classified as extreme weather.  In Duluth, the city has already had a quarter of their average snowfall come through the region.  In the Northwest, Seattle saw their earlier snowfall in over 120 years.  These reports file in from all over the country and tell us that Winter will not be over as soon as we hope.
