Looks like the colder air is coming in colder and a little sooner for this next event tonight through Wednesday morning. Precipitation should start late today/tonight as a rain then wintry mix before going to snow before sunrise Tuesday. If the rain component doesn't develop, then just a bit more snow will total. Off and on snow showers may fall through Tuesday and Tuesday night, tapering off early Wednesday morning.
The Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 8pm tonight through 8am Wednesday. Higher elevations could see up to 6", but the winds and wind chills will be truly bone-chilling. Power outages a real possibility. Current NWS totals range 1-3" with a chance for initial sleet and freezing rain (think ice under any snow).
Amounts I see range 1-3" for the event at this time on my models, though those models have been trending slightly heavier. WLOS just posted their guess for us as 2-3". Same idea. It doesn't fall all at once, just some here and there as the bands move through.
The inescapable is the flower killing cold coming in, with Tuesday AM lows in the upper teens, and even a tad colder Wednesday and Thursday morning. Bad news for our budding and flowering plants, fruit crops, etc.
So, a heads up for Tuesday travel...with such temps, what falls is sticking and going nowhere, and for our new residents in ACA, even a half inch of snow on Apple Creek Road can be a nightmare on the steeper problem sections. Be careful.
