August chill brings early frost fears across northern states
Cold air pooling over the North Pole and Canada cooled the land across the Midwest and Northeast. Record lows appeared in East Haven Vermont 22 and Thomas West Virginia 28 with snow in Vermont ski areas. Forecasters blamed a large Arctic air mass and volcanic ash from a recent eruption for the cool spell and bright sunset along the Connecticut coast. Snow fell in Killington Vermont with a possible repeat of frosty conditions as autumn neared.
