Several inches of snow with freezing rain, sleet and some icing are possible as a complex storm system that developed over the Great Lakes makes its way here this afternoon. The system, NWS says will be with us through Tuesday, but should change over to rain before midnight.
Temperatures remain in the low 20s this morning, after a mostly clear, but cold night. It should stay this way with maybe some flurries late this morrning and temperatures rising to just above freezing, until mid afternoon, when NWS says snow is likely. The snow, then freezing rain, will continue through the night, stopping before daybreak Tuesday. NWS says new snow accumulation through this afternoon and night will be around two to five inches.
The sun will rise today at 7:09 a.m. and set at 7:13 p.m. That's 20 minutes more sunlight than NEPA had last Monday.
