There is More Snow Cover Across the U.S. Now Than There Usually is on Christmas

A little more than 50% of the continental U.S. is covered in snow, with more to come in the next week, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This greatly exceeds the average amount at this time of year, and is a more typical reading for late December or early January. What's more remarkable is that most of the snow has fallen in just the past seven days, and now stretches from coast-to-coast along the northern tier of the country, dipping south all the way to northern Texas. http://on.mash.to/1AcgoRA http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
