NOAA's National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center reports that snow covered just 1.8% of the contiguous United States on Nov. 11, Men's Journal reports. That compares with 11.3% a year earlier and an average of about 13% for the date since 2003, with only 2016 recording less. Most of the snow lies in the Northern and Central Rockies, while the Midwest, Great Lakes and South have none. The Weather Prediction Center expects colder air and moderate snow in the Sierra this weekend.
