Canadian cold front moves into Rockies
A Canadian cold front brought freezing temps and light snow in the northern Rockies. Most of the nation stayed clear and mild as the front swept through Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Snow fell several inches in the Cascade Range, while gale warnings affected Lake Superior and Lake Michigan. Northern Plains cooled with the front, strong winds hit the Midwest, Florida saw scattered thundershowers, and Panama City reported about an inch of rain.
