Winter Storm Update (Friday 8pm)

Everything appears to be on track for another major lake effect snow event (no tickets needed for admission) beginning late Sunday and continuing into midweek.

Winds will start to increase Sunday afternoon and will reach levels of 30-40 mph with stronger gusts overnight Sunday. Initial snowfall will begin Sunday afternoon with 3-4 inches likely by Monday morning. Combine that with the wind, and visibilities will be extremely low by daybreak. It looks like the Monday commute is not going to be pleasant.

Lake effect snow will continue Monday into Tuesday with amounts similar to last week...meaning a foot or more...especially north of I-76.

Just to give you an idea of what we expect, the forecast computer printouts I'm looking at for 5am-6am Monday morning are showing snow with winds of 30-37 mph, a temperature of 17, and a wind chill of -10.

Ah...welcome to winter! And, hey...be careful out there!
