A rapidly moving Alberta Clipper will bring a broad area of slippery travel from the Midwest to the interior South and much of the mid-Atlantic Friday. The wintry weather will be more of a nuisance for those living across these regions.
As the storm tracks from the Great Lakes toward the East Coast, it will leave a large swath of light snow accumulations from the Midwest to the mid-Atlantic. The storm will also bring areas of sleet and freezing rain to part of the Ohio Valley, part of the Tennessee Valley, the central and southern Appalachians.

The storm system will bear down on the I-95 corridor by the late afternoon, just in time for the evening commute.

If you cannot figure out why there would be record snows and cold waves when the Pacific Ocean warms up when the Arctic Ice Cap melts away in summer, then you have poor logic skills

When it hits minus 60 in Fairbanks and minus 50 in the lower 48 I'll start paying attention

The term "global warming" was decided to be a misnomer almost a decade ago; hence, the term that describes the same phenomena now being "climate change."

January 25 2013 at 11:34 AM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down Replythis is global warming. Because the ice caps have melted, the cold air is being pushed south instead of being centralized in the most northern hemisphere.
