US National Weather Summary for January 28,2013

As of 9:30PM,EST,January 28,2013,from weatherunderground.com:

The strong winter storm that brought a wintry unsettled weather to the Midwest ushered the a wintry mix of precipitation into New England and the Upper Mid-Atlantic on Monday as the low lifted across the Great Lakes and the associated warm front reached eastward. A mix of light freezing rain, sleet, and snow developed in parts of southern and western New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania through the morning and began to change into rain through the afternoon as temperatures rose above the freezing mark. The rest of the region continued to see freezing rain and sleet through the day with ice accumulations expected to reach up to a quarter of an inch. These conditions led to ice covered roads and sidewalks, as well as possible issues with power outages and downed tree limbs in areas that experience the greatest ice accumulations. In addition to ice, snow showers continued across the Northeast, south of Maine, with snow accumulations expected to range from 2 to 5 inches by Tuesday morning. Outside of this area of precipitation, rain and snow in the Upper Great Lakes moved into southeastern Canada, while light to moderate rain showers developed from portions of the Southern Plains into the Midwest.

Out West, a wave of low pressure over the Rockies spread snow showers from the Northern Rockies across the Northern Plains and into the Upper Mississippi Valley during the afternoon. The southern portion of this disturbance remained stretched across the Intermountain West and maintained a mix of rain and high elevation snow in the Four Corners and Wyoming. Snowfall accumulations were expected to reach up to a foot in the mountains. Further West, a moist storm system brought another round of rain and snow to the Pacific Northwest with up to a foot of snow expected across the Cascades.
