Spring Arrives Amid Another Round of Wintry Storms Across Midwest to Northeast

As meteorological spring begins on March 1, several storms will bring snow, ice and rain from the Midwest to the Northeast through mid‑next week, affecting about 120 million people. Arctic air will surge south, creating a broad wintry pattern with snow in parts of the Upper Midwest and central Midwest, while a larger Tue–Wed storm could push a wintry mix farther east and trigger urban flooding as melts advance. Travel could be slick, with fog and possible ice jams as rain and melting snow raise water levels in cities.

Pending Home Sales Collapse Across the U.S. as Midwest Sets Record Low

U.S. pending home sales fell 9.3% in December to a record low, with all four regions down and the Midwest posting the steepest drop to a new regional low. The piece attributes the downturn to the unwind of ultra-low mortgage rates from 2020–22, which inflated prices and locked in homeowners, reducing mobility and transactions for years. The trend shows little improvement and highlights ongoing weakness in the housing market nationwide.
