A brisk morning
Frost coats plants in a field in Mahoning Valley early Friday morning. This was the first notable frost of the season, with showers in the forecast for tonight and Saturday. Winter looks wet and especially mild for much of the country, thanks to a weak El Niño brewing, U.S. meteorologists said.
The National Weather Service on Thursday predicted a warmer than normal winter for the northern and western three-quarters of the nation. BOB FORD/TIMES NEWS
