1. WINTER WEATHER
Over the river and through the woods: The wicked wintry weather that pummeled the West Coast is now barreling across the country, threatening to ruin millions of holiday travel plans just before Thanksgiving. More than 300 flights have already been canceled in the Dallas-Fort Worth area – not exactly a bastion for snowstorms. Sleet and freezing rain will keep blanketing parts of the Southern Plains and Southern Rockies today. And after the storm deluges parts of the South with rain tonight, it’ll start zeroing in on the Northeast. And that could spell more travel nightmares. Stay tuned.

Barack Obama’s overall approval rating sits at 41%, the lowest of his presidency.
