A wintry mix of snow, sleet, rain and freezing rain will be possible from the Gulf Coast to Carolinas through Tuesday, and then another round of wintry precipitation will overspread the same area on Wednesday.

Most of the U.S is 20 to 30 degrees below average and snow is coming to the South.
A strange thing happened here in Boston over the weekend: The temperature got above freezing.
The massive dumps of snow here this winter have been bad enough, but it's the cold that's really done us in, an unbroken stretch of frigid weather that’s made Massachusetts feel more like Montreal — or Anchorage.
And Rutgers University climate scientist Jennifer Francis has a counterintuitive explanation for all the cold: It's the warming Arctic.
More specifically, Francis thinks the warming Arctic is causing the jet stream to slow down, get a lot more loopy, which lets big masses of frigid air slip south.
The jet stream is that powerful, high-altitude circulation system that carries weather around the Northern Hemisphere. The main fuel behind it is the difference in temperature between the Arctic and the warmer regions to the south.
“When the Arctic is warming so fast, that means there's less fuel driving the jet stream,” Francis says. “When the jet stream has less fuel it flows more slowly, and it tends to take these big north-south dips.”
The northeastern US just happens to be in the path of one of those big dips this year, she says, “and that’s when we get our cold winters." The United Kingdom has also seen extremely strong and persistent storms the past two winters. But she also thinks there’s a lot more going on than just a lot of cold and snow in New — or old — England.

“You have to step back and look at what the jet stream is doing all around the northern hemisphere,” Francis says. It's also taken a huge northward swing over the western US, causing drought and heat waves in California.
Farther east, Francis says, “think back to the Olympics last winter, and how much trouble they were having keeping snow on the ski slopes. And you can go all the way around to Alaska, [where] they been having two very warm winters in a row.”
Francis cautions that the climate system is extremely complicated, and that a lot of other big changes are in play at the same time as the disrupted jet stream.
