First Day of Winter

From sea to shining sea, the U.S. is caught under the influence of Old Man Winter. In the Northwest, "Region hunkers down for week of snow, cold," The Seattle Times said, noting "cold and snow ... have disrupted almost every aspect of life throughout the region for more than a week." The newspaper pictured travelers stranded at Sea-Tac Airport and residents dealing with gusty winds and blowing snow. The Web site of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer asked: "Will it ever stop?" while offering links to updates on the commute, closings, photos and vignettes. In a "My Seattle Pix" album, more than 200 snow photos were shared with the PI. "Hello, winter," said the Sun Journal in Lewiston, Maine. "White Christmas comes wrapped in Northeaster," the paper added. The Bangor Daily News' main headline said, "Strong nor'easter socks state with heavy snow, high winds." In a promotion to an inside story incorporated into its nameplate, the Daily News called snow "white gold" for state ski areas. What's your weather forecast, and how will it be included in your holiday coverage?
