Discussion

A major snow event is on the way…

Much colder air moves into the area today and a significant storm will bring rain and then a mix of rain and snow and then all snow from tonight to midday Wednesday. As much as 6-10 inches of heavy, wet snow are on the table – even in the metro region – and significant travel disruptions are likely. As is typical this time of year, the unusual cold will give way to milder conditions by week’s end.
