 .DISCUSSION...
 After a cold afternoon, another round of light snow is possible 
 tonight across southeast Ohio and northern West Virgina, with up to 
 half an inch or so possible. This combined with lows in the tens to 
 around 20 could lead to slick conditions for the Monday morning 
 commute in some areas. Even colder air arrives behind an arctic 
 front that crosses on Monday, with snow showers once again possible 
 across the north, while gusty winds of 20 to 30 miles per hour are 
 expected area wide. Dry, but much colder air moves in Monday night. 
 Lows will be in the single digits, while wind chills will be even 
 colder, with Cold Weather Advisories in effect for the higher 
 terrain. Well below normal temperatures continue on Tuesday amid dry 
 conditions, with temperatures moderating significantly on Wednesday 
 ahead of the next system that crosses Wednesday night into Thursday.
