Meanwhile, the first snow of the season fell across the Pacific Northwest Sunday into Monday as an autumnlike storm swept across the region.

The storm slashed temperatures by 20 to 30 degrees Fahrenheit, leading to the unseasonal snowfall. Most of the snow fell across the higher elevations including areas of Glacier National Park, Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park.

Accumulations were light with most areas receiving just a coating to an inch or two of snow.



Severe thunderstorms swept across part of the north-central United States this week, bringing another round of damaging winds and flooding downpours to the region.

More than 100,000 lost power across Iowa, Michigan and Wisconsin. One person was injured near Thornton, Iowa, after a tractor trailer was blown over on Interstate 35.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker declared a state of emergency in six counties due to the damaging flooding across the region.

Cars were stranded on flooded roads in Green Bay, Wisconsin, after storms unloaded over 2 inches of rain in just a few short hours. Parts of Lambeau Field were also flooded following the torrential downpours...................................

1. Weather patterns are definitely getting more extreme.

And it seems to be getting worse each year. I am worried that there is very little we can do about it at this point. I think the best we can hope for is to slow things down.
