A storm off New England brought up to six inches of snow to Maine and showers to eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Traces of snow also fell in western Pennsylvania.
Plunging temperatures in the Southeast set records as far south as Jacksonville, Fla., where the morning low of 37 eclipsed the old mark of 43.
Showers fell in parts of Washington, Idaho, Oregon and northern California. Higher elevations of the Northwest saw up to 4 inches of snow.
