Fall will end on a warmer start for next week. You should be lucky a ridge is building in the Eastern half of the country because that frigid cold air slamming into the West and the Plains would have been coming this way otherwise.

The answer is C) Nitrogen.

Any rate, what the douchebaggery is this coming our way...

Central and Southen MS and Al is expected to get some snow, maybe even some light accumlations! That really shows how powerful this storm system is and the COLD air mass that's following it. TWC had snow for my area for Thursdat noght , but they removed it a couple of days ago, I still wouldn't rule it though.
