Enjoy what you can with our latest powder snowfall over the weekend. A nasty storm arrives late Tuesday into Wednesday morning with high winds fairly certain. The transition from wet snow to rain, another system could repeat Saturday.
Folks might want to start prepping for what continues to look like one of our nastier storms. It does not arrive until Tuesday evening or so. Wet snow transitions to rain but it’s the winds that look worst.
Not a bad powder day today. Snowfall winds down early tonight as all eyes will turn to a nasty impactful storm system arriving Tuesday night into Wednesday with high winds, power outages, and sloppy wet snow changing to rain Wednesday. Yes, this will suck.
