Temperatures from the mid-Atlantic to the Midwest and South Central states will average 10 to 20 degrees above normal. Temperatures will challenge record highs in parts of the Central states. An exception to the sunshine will be a persistent area of clouds and showers from parts of Florida to the Carolinas. Snow and cold air will continue to expand over the West.

The ski resort at Mam- moth Mountain in the east- ern Sierra Nevada reported the storm dropped 12-to-30 inches of snow, and moved up its opening day to Thurs- day, a week earlier than planned. In the Sierra region encompassing Yosemite and Kings Canyon, the National Weather Ser- vice says snowfall totals ranged from 9 inches near Bass Lake to 13 inches northeast of Devils Post- pile. Snow also dusted some Southern California peaks. A substantial Sierra snowpack is vital to Cali- fornia's water supply. Last April, Gov. Jerry Brown or- dered mandatory water re- strictions for the first time in history as surveyors found the lowest snow level in the Sierra in 65 years of record-keeping. FIRST OF SEASON Storm leaves snowy coat on California mountains By Mary Clare Jalonick The Associated Press WASHINGTON Democrats have blocked a Senate bill that would have forced the Obama administration to withdraw new federal rules to protect smaller streams, tributaries and wetlands from development and pol- lution. Supporters of the legis- lation — and opponents of the rules — did not get the 60 votes needed Tuesday to stop debate and consider the bill. The vote was 57-41, meaning Democrats have blocked the bill, for now. Most Democrats say the Obamaadministration rules will safeguard drinking wa- ter for 117 million Americans and should remain in place. The White House threat- ened a veto of the bill, say- ing the regulations are "es- sential to ensure clean wa- ter for future generations." Republicans and a hand- ful of Democrats from rural states say they fear a steady uptick in federal regulation of every stream and ditch. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor that the regulations are "a cyni- cal and overbearing power grab dressed awkwardly as some clean water measure." Four Democrats voted with Republicans on the measure — Sens. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota, Claire McCaskill of Mis- souri, Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Joe Donnelly of Indiana. Federal courts have al- ready put the rules on hold as they consider a number of lawsuits that were filed immediately after the En- vironmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers issued the regulations in May. The rules clarify which smaller waterways fall un- der federal protection af- ter two Supreme Court rulings left the reach of the Clean Water Act un- certain. Those decisions in 2001 and 2006 left 60 percent of the nation's streams and millions of acres of wetlands with- out clear federal protec- tion, according to the EPA, causing confusion for landowners and gov- ernment officials. The EPA says the new rules would force a per- mitting process only if a business or landowner took steps that would pollute or destroy the af- fected waters — those with a "direct and signifi- cant" connection to larger bodies of water down- stream that are already protected. For example, that could include tribu- taries that show evidence of flowing water. The Senate bill would force the EPA to with- draw and rewrite the rules. Democratic sup- porters of the regulations say that would just cause even more confusion. "We shouldn't pass leg- islation that would create even more uncertainty and invite years of litiga- tion," said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif. The House passed a sim- ilar bill earlier this year. Farm and business groups are among the rules' chief opponents, and more than half the states have sued the gov- ernment in an attempt to block them. Officials from states such as Geor- gia, New Mexico and Wis- consin have suggested the regulations could be harmful to farmers and landowners who might have to pay for extra per- mits or redesign their property to manage small bodies of water on their private land.
