Each weekday morning, OurAmazingPlanet takes the pulse of the Earth, reporting on natural phenomena and exploration news from around the globe.

Southern Snow: Snow has covered many Southern cities, such as Atlanta, where Georgia is under a state of emergency. The storm is heading to the mid-Atlantic and Northeast next.
