Just 7-Percent of the Country Is Covered In Snow

12.06.12 | Sarah Harnisch

The snow cover across the country is at its lowest for December since forecasters started keeping records. The snow line has been staying just north of the border in Canada. In the lower 48, only 7-percent of the country is covered with snow. That's a record low for this day. Normally, parts of New York and Pennsylvania have logged 20 inches of snow by this time in the winter. Most towns have had less then 2 inches so far.
