NATION : Cold in South, Snow in Midwest
An unseasonable, record-setting cold knifed through the South today and a freak wintry storm dumped snow over much of the Midwest for a second day, while rain drenched the already saturated East.
The National Weather Service said snow kept falling in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin in the morning but was starting to taper off in places as the storm moved from the Ohio Valley into the Great Lakes.
Temperatures were in the 30s and 40s in the Midwest, socked Thursday by what was generally the region’s earliest autumn snowfall in up to a century.
