An arctic outbreak and winter storm struck a large portion of the US Friday,bringing record low temperatures and an ice storm that knocked out power to 250,000 in North Texas alone.At least nine deaths are being attributed to the frigid weather system,including the demise of four homeless people from hypothermia in San Jose,California.A record low of 30F was recorded there Friday morning.*
The wintry conditions swept from South Texas through the Midwest and into Northern New England and the Canadian Maritimes.More than 1500 flights were canceled in Dallas,and many vehicles were stranded on I-35.*
Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for Utah's Wasatch Mountains;Western Uintas;Wasatch Plateau;Book Cliffs;and Southwest Wyoming from early Saturday to Sunday evening,with snowfall ranging from 3-5 inches in the lower elevations to up to 20 inches in the mountains.*
A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for Northern Maryland from early Sunday into Monday,with a wintry mix of snow,sleet and freezing rain expected.*

Bulls Hamper Heat;Aggies Blast Sooners
The Chicago Bulls cuffed the Miami Heat 96-89 Friday night at American Airlines Arena in Miami.Carlos Boozer led the victors with 27 points,12 rebounds and a late game steal.It was the Heat's lowest point total in a home game this season.
Miami's LeBron James notched his 31st straight game with 20+ points,leading all players with 30 points ,but was also unable to capitalise on a rare Clear Path to the Basket foul against him when he missed a free throw.Joakim Noah added 12 points for the Bulls,and Miami's Dwayne Wade scored 22.
Chicago raised its record to 18-13 with the win,while Miami dropped to 22-9.
At the AT and T Cotton Bowl in Dallas,the Texas A and M Aggies blasted the Oklahoma State Sooners 41-13.The Sooners were no match for freshman Johnny Football Manziel,the Aggies quarterback and 2012 Heisman Trophy winner,who rushed for a record-breaking 227 yards and 2 touchdowns,and receiver Ryan Swope,who became an Aggies all-time leader with his 103 yardage on the night.Manziel threw for 287 yards,while Sooners quarterback Landry Jones passed for 278 yards.
A zonal flow locked the jet stream north of the border this week,holding back colder temperatures,and it will be several more days before a likely pattern change makes early winter more seasonal for much of the US with frigid Canadian air.
