New round of icy November weather hits much of U.S.

Much of the country woke up to a new round of icy November weather. Chilly temperatures ran from the Northwest to the Northeast, and all the way down to Texas.

Minneapolis plunged to one degree Sunday night and temperatures in Brookings, South Dakota, hit five degrees Monday morning. Even Amarillo, Texas, is struggling in the snow this morning, reports Tino Ramos from CBS News affiliate WBNS in Columbus.

People of the Midwest and Plains are used to freezing temperatures and snow storms, but a fast moving system packing a winter punch, is being felt by millions of Americans and winter is still over a month away.

This latest storm, which has dropped snow and ice from Oregon to Ohio and as far south as Texas isn't weather you typically expect for this time of year. People who would normally spend their days bagging and raking leaves are instead shoveling and salting driveways.

In Columbus, heavy snow has been falling since Sunday night, complicating Monday morning's commute. Crews are out trying to clear roads and although many of the streets have been treated in preparation for the storm. The precipitation, paired with the plummeting temperatures created slippery driving conditions.

Across the wide-ranging storm system, cars and trucks peppered the sides of highways -- a result of the slick, snow-covered roads. In St. Louis, the city's iconic arch was covered under a layer of snow.

As the snow and ice exit toward the Northeast, mostly in the form of rain, frigid temperatures will settle in throughout the region in the coming days, with low's expected to hover in the 20's. Even portions of the deep south will feel the chill.

Monday night temperatures in Columbus expected to sink, close to single digits. Crews in and throughout the region will be working around the clock to make sure the roads don't completely freeze over.
