La Niña Fuels Fast-Moving Snowstorms Across U.S.
An active December winter pattern, fueled partly by La Niña, is bringing fast-moving snowstorms across the Northern Plains, Midwest, and Northeast this week. Alberta clippers tapping arctic air from Canada are producing multiple rounds of snow, with totals of 3–5 inches in the Midwest, including Chicago, which has already seen 9 inches above average. Additional clippers are expected through midweek, affecting Minneapolis, Buffalo, Cleveland, and other cities, while cold air settling in will support continued snow and ideal ski conditions across the region.
