Storm Stops Travelers as It Moves Across U.S.

NYT
"A paralyzing 2,000-mile swath of winter at its snowy, icy, messy worst pushed eastward across the United States on Tuesday, disrupting the rhythms of everyday life and punctuating this season’s recurring lesson that humankind has no dominion over nature. .....“It’s having a gigantic geographical impact,” said Bob Oravec, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service who tracked the storm from the safety of his office in relatively unscathed Camp Springs, Md.

Mr. Oravec offered a basic lesson in meteorology to explain weather that transcends the word “inclement.” A cold air mass from Canada has become entrenched across the north-central United States, while storms in the Mississippi Valley have been drawing moisture from the Gulf of Mexico. Cold air plus moisture equals snow, and ice, and a new year that we are still ringing in with shovel scrapes against pavement. "
