Deep Freeze Returns, More Snow

Shaping up to be one of the a very interesting forecast for the next two to three days.
The first blast of cold air will move into the area tonight. Snow is expected to develop behind the front and continue off and on through Tuesday. The National Weather Service is calling for 1-2 inches tonight, with an additional 3-5 inches during the day Sunday. For the later days too much uncertainty remains to predict how much additional snow will fall, but with a 60% chance of snow Monday and Monday night, it is likely we will add to these totals. Snow throughout the period will generally be light, if we get decent accumulation it will likely be due to the duration of the snowfall. The other big story over the next days will be the temperatures. Temperatures will fall below freezing tonight - and likely not get back above freezing until Thursday. The forecast for Tuesday could see the coldest air of the year with highs in the single digits.

At this point the NWS has not issued any warnings or advisories. As the forecast continues to come together, this could change. Stay tuned!
