Our winter storm will wind-down today.  Many locations got a good amount of snow out of this one.  Along and north of I-70, there were a lot of one-foot reportings… even a few over that number.  Snow will taper off as we head into the late morning/early afternoon.  But watch for blowing and drifting snow, as it is going to be a WINDY day.  Temperatures will also be much colder, falling into the afternoon… with wind chill values in the single digits all day long.  Here is a look at some of the snowfall totals from around the region:

It’s a heavy, wet snow… so take it easy when shoveling.  The cold adds extra stress to your heart… and the situation can turn worse if you overexert yourself.  The upside… this snow is great for packing.  Let the snowmen and snow fort pictures begin!  You can send them to us here:  weather@wdtn.com.

In the meantime, here are some pictures sent in from some of our viewers:

We’ll get a break in the action for a few days, but another storm will affect us Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.  Once again, depending on the track of the storm… we could see more accumulating snow.  The storm has the potential to bring in some warmer air ahead of it, so some mixing will also be possible, especially to the south.  We’ll keep you posted!

Thanks, and enjoy our winter wonderland…
