You will never see a Global Warming activist rallying the moon bats on a cold winter day.

The winter storm that plagued the Midwest and Plains late last week and over the weekend is finally beginning to impact the Northeast. Snow and winter weather advisories are posted for all of Maine and New Hampshire, most of Massachusetts, and portions of Rhode Island and Connecticut. Winter storm and heavy snow warnings are posted for most of Upstate and western New York and all of Vermont. Ice is possible between Buffalo and Boston. The heaviest snows are expected near the Canadian border in northern New York, northern Vermont, northern New Hampshire, and most of Maine, with some area forecast to receive up to a foot of new snow by Tuesday. Where temperatures stay above freezing, the potential for heavy rain could cause problems today. While rainfall amounts will generally be around half of an inch, some areas could see higher amounts particularly along the Pennsylvania/New York state line. Snow and ice is also possible in parts of the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes. An ice storm warning is posted for southern Lower Michigan and northern Indiana, including Detroit, Lansing, Ann Arbor, and South Bend. A winter storm warning is posted for Grand Rapids, Flint, and Port Huron in Michigan, with a heavy snow warning north of these three cities in Lower Michigan. Winter storm warnings are also posted for metro Chicago, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis/St. Paul. The area of heaviest snow, with 5 to 8 inches expected, stretches from southeast Minnesota into northern Wisconsin to Michigan. Meanwhile in the Ohio Valley, heavy rain is possible once again with flood watches posted for today. Rainfall amounts of up to 1″, with locally heavier amounts, possible over Kentucky, southern Indiana, southern Ohio, and West Virginia. Farther south in Texas, ice and sleet is possible again today as well. An ice storm warning continues for much of Central and North Texas until noon today. Where temperatures are above freezing along and ahead of the cold front (in East Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and eastward into the Tennessee Valley), heavy rain is possible with flood and flash flood watches posted for heavy rain potential through tonight. This storm system is expected to move off the Atlantic Coast over the next few days and bring the unseasonably warm temperatures in the Southeast to an end.
