The Northern Plains may be singing "Baby, It's Cold Outside" this week as wind chills overnight could be as low as -40 (Fahrenheit AND Celcius - SCIENCE!) tonight and tomorrow night as Arctic air spills in. Bundle up and stay warm!

Two weather systems are bringing widespread snow from the California mountains to the Rockies and the Northern Tier. Freezing rain may develop for portions of the Midwest. Heavier snow is expected in the higher mountains and near Lake Superior.
Lots of gray on the map this morning for dense fog, and plenty more low visibility in other areas (which I can personally attest to). Everyone's excited to be back to work and all, but take it slow. If you can't see, you can't stop

So, we're banned from singing on twitter now, so just hum "Let it snow" to yourself... A system working through the Upper Midwest today will combine with Lake Effect snow through tomorrow to bring periods of heavy snow downwind of Lakes Superior and Michigan.
A strong cold front will slowly sweep through the East and South on Tuesday and Wednesday. Behind this front, a zone of light #snow may develop and fall from north #Texas to the #Northeast . Some accumulations are expected and this may be the first snowfall of the season for many!

Keep your eyes out for fake forecasts. THIS is what an official NOAA advisory looks like. Note: forecast only goes out 5 days. #Irma
For our friends in TX, if experiencing life-threatening flooding, move to a higher floor with windows or to the roof. #Harvey
