Nation : Chicago Gets an Early Snow
Snow fell in Chicago as the mercury plunged 20 degrees below normal in the Midwest and Plains early today, while cool air mixed with scattered rain over much of the Atlantic Coast and southern United States.
The National Weather Service issued flood warnings in Jackson, Ky., after the Kentucky River overflowed onto local roads. There were no reports of injuries, the weather service said.
