Precipitation:

Howdy! Lots of snow is still falling throughout New England this afternoon. Some spots in Massachusetts may have seen over 30 inches of snow. California has been drenched with rain and snow in the mountains... this will continue until the Low coming in from the Pacific moves slowly inland. No other large-scale areas of precipitation are expected.

Temperature:

Temperatures will be cold for much of the northern U.S. with cooler temperatures along the East Coast thanks to the cold front that moved through the area the past two days.

Challenge Questions:

Can you see any snowcover on the visible satellite images today? (hints: 1. clouds move, 2. snow doesn't accumulate on lakes/rivers)
