Today:

After our Saturday winter system, much colder air has moved in as advertised. With a strong north/northwest flow, expect some scattered lake effect snow showers to be aroud from time to time through the day. Not much in the way of accumulation, but we’re cold enough that anything falling will easitly stick, making roads a bit more slick.

Additonally, several hundred churches in the area cancelled services.
