First things first, it is a clear and bitterly cold start to Wednesday and we expect another frigid night tonight… with overnight temperatures dropping into the low to mid 20s. Pets need to be indoors, check on your neighbors and cover tinder vegetation you might have outside.

Our harsh winter conditions continue, with more generally light lake effect snow, chilly air and a gusty wind into Thursday. The lake effect snow may tend to pick up a little bit into early Thursday morning,

First Alert Weather Day for wintry mix starting Friday afternoon. High pressure remains in control and will allow high temperatures to reach the upper-40s, with dry weather staying around until Thursday.

A winter storm will be heading our way Friday night into Saturday morning bringing more snow! Our main mid-range models bring mainly snow with this system, with 1-3″ likely, but up to 4″ totals possible for some.
