Weather cools West as Rockies snow spreads east
A cold front hit the western two thirds of the United States with chilly, fair conditions forecast for Thanksgiving. The season’s largest snowstorm moved from the Rockies into the Midwest, with the heaviest snowfall from northeast Iowa to southeastern Minnesota and into Wisconsin, while parts of the Rockies saw over a foot of snow before the system drifted eastward. Rain and sleet followed into the Great Lakes and mid Atlantic regions, tapering to showers in the South. Nearby, Valley Evergreen Nursery promotes bulbs, evergreens, and landscape plans with a sale on tulip bulbs and other plants.
