Snow hit USA.

U.S. Snow Spreading East; Rescue In Morocco; UK Snow Builds, Farmers Protest Regardless; Mountain Snowpack Above Average; + Study: Antarctic Sea Ice Has Increased Since 1979

U.S. Snow Spreading East​

The storms currently dropping feet of snow on the higher reaches of the Western U.S. are shifting east, preparing to hit North Dakota late Monday with heavy snowfall, powerful winds, and a sharp drop in temperatures.

Snowfall of 8 inches is expected in north-central areas, with higher totals likely in the Turtle Mountains.

A Winter Storm Watch is in effect Monday morning through to Tuesday evening for counties including Bottineau, Rollette, and Ramsey. Travel conditions will deteriorate quickly due to slippery roads, blowing snow, and poor visibility.

In the Bismarck-Mandan area, rain will have turned to snow by Tuesday morning, and fierce northwest winds will create additional hazards as snow lingers Tuesday night. Daily highs will be in the 20s with lows tanking to the teens through the week.

A “once-in-a-decade” bomb cyclone sweeps across the northwestern U.S. and parts of Canada early Wednesday. The first death has already been reported, and hundreds of thousands of people are without power in Washington, California and British Columbia.

US north-west endures ‘bomb cyclone’ as east coast faces persistent wildfires​

Coasts facing extreme weather conditions, as atmospheric river is expected to extend from Hawaii to California​

Millions of people on both US coasts are enduring extreme weather conditions, with a lethal, once-a-decade bomb cyclone storm system descending on the north-west while east coast residents are experiencing persistent wildfires amid weeks of bone-dry drought conditions. A woman was killed near Seattle when a tree fell on her home, CNN reported. Wind gusts between 72 and 77mph have been reported, and more than 650,000 people were waking up on Wednesday without power in Washington state. An additional 150,000 people are without power in British Columbia as well as 24,000 in northern California.
The storm is expected to unleash snow, with blizzard and avalanche warnings in the mountains, and hurricane force winds over the region. The intensity of the storm out west, measured by its minimum central air pressure, was consistent with a category 4 hurricane, the Washington Post reported. Conditions known as an atmospheric river are also expected to extend from Hawaii to California and the storm is expected to dump 10 to 20 in of rain on California’s northern Coast Ranges mountainous area.

The fire department in Bellevue, Washington, urged people to stay inside on the lowest floor of their homes and away from windows. An Amtrak train was also involved in a collision outside of Seattle and CNN obtained videos of downed trees on power lines.

On the east coast, New York City is under its first drought warning in more than 20 years. New York City’s reservoirs are currently around 60% capacity, but are usually above 79% capacity at this time of year, Rohit Aggarwala, the commissioner of the city’s department of environmental protection, told NBC News. Over the last 10 weeks, the city has had 8.23in less rain than is typical for the period.
The New York City area is expected to see some rain beginning on Wednesday night through Friday that could total up to 3in. Experts say that won’t be enough to overcome the severe drought, but hope it could slow the fires.
“We hope it will be enough to wet dry leaves and pine needles that fuel these fires,” Bill Goodman, a meterologist for the National Weather Service told the New York Times. “But we’ll just have to see what happens, and take it one storm at a time.”
