Despite astronomical spring‘s arrival Monday, the hits from winter will keep coming for parts of the United States that have been buried under heavy snow this season. So much snow has fallen across some areas in the northern Plains and the Upper Midwest that one city could set a new benchmark for its snowiest March on record — and the winter as a whole is ranking among the snowiest ever for some locations.
A storm that wreaked havoc on the western U.S. over the weekend will shift into the Plains as the week progresses. As it encounters colder air, it will produce a strip of snow from the Dakotas to the Great Lakes.
