A strong low pressure area that has been moving eastward across the Mediterranean Sea generated unusually high seas that crashed into a cruise ship yesterday smashing windows and killing two on board. In addition to the high seas, this strong low has been responsible for wind damage across Spain and northern Africa, with aircraft pilots [...]
The low pressure area that entered the Gulf of Mexico yesterday, and is presently moving across northern Florida on its way into the Atlantic, will deliver impressive early March snowfall amounts to the Deep South. Maximum accumulations are expected in the western regions of North Carolina where up to 8 inches in Asheville is possible [...]
via ksdk.com Can’t figure out what to do with all the snow on the ground? One family in Pennsylvania decided to turn their backyard into a 650 foot winding luge.
