How much snow?

While snowfall intensity may not reach heavy enough amounts for our team to send alerts (watches, warnings or advisories), the duration of snowfall may have impacts to your activities... especially after the recent dry stretch of weather.  It is possible that snow will continue through the end of the week.

In the meantime, our meteorologists are updating their forecasts with the most up-to-date information and will have specific snowfall amounts available later this afternoon.
