Wet snow...yuk!

(Map courtesy of www.accuweather.com)

All the rain of the last few days will change over to snow tonight (Thursday). Temperatures will be just a few degrees below freezing so that is going to make for a heavy, wet snow.  It will accumulate rapidly and could cause some problems for tree branches and power lines.

As for snow accumulations, this is the tough nut to crack.  The LOW will move over Ohio and end up someplace around Pittsburgh or Erie tomorrow morning.  As you can see on the map, there is going to be a tongue of heavier snow on the backside of this system. Snowfall amounts could vary considerably north and south of I-76 and from western to eastern Portage County.

Since this thing is so borderline, I'm going to with 2-4 inches around the area overnight tonight.  Add to that an additional 3-5 inches tomorrow, but that may be up for discussion again later today.
