BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – A potent March snowstorm blanketed much of the Southeast with snow Sunday before barreling toward the Northeast, where officials prepared snowplows and road-salt for a wintery assault.

The icy blast threatened to drop up to a foot of snow in the Philadelphia area, 13 inches in New York and 15 inches across southern New England late Sunday.

Thousands of New York City sanitation workers prepared to salt city streets, and airlines preemptively canceled flights Sunday at the region's major airports.

It’s not snowing here in east Texas, But there will be frost on the ground this AM.

We have frost in central Texas this AM. The local weather link shows 26, but both my electronic thermometers show 34.

The internet. He invented the internet, dontchaknow?
