So is this how it is supposed to look all through this spell? A Low
over Michigan heading nowhere and all the western states looking at
drought again?

Snow storms in the central US have left at least 22 people dead and
tens of thousands without electricity, the Associated Press news
agency reports.

Hundreds of accidents were reported as far south as Texas, where there
was a 50-vehicle motorway pile-up.

The storm has also felled trees and power lines and caused the
cancellation of hundreds of flights.

More heavy snow has been forecast as the storms move into the Great
Lakes region bordering Canada.
