Snow in 49 states

With the latest round of winter weather for the east coast, and a rare snow event in the deep south, CNN reports that 49 states now have snow on the ground. The only one without snow? Florida. Below (left) is an image from the National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center showing the current snow cover in the contiguous U.S., right is an image taken today from Boston's latest storm.

While the northeast starts the cleanup process after upwards of 20 inches of snow blanketed areas around Boston and New York, our weather looks to remain calm over the next several days. Westerly winds will help us break out of the frigid temperatures we have been experiencing since this past weekend, and will push our highs near the 50 degrees to finish the week. Our next chance for snow won't come until the end of the weekend, and at this point it looks like a very slight chance at best.
