Winter is BACK!
Temps have dropped from the lower 60s into the 20s. And they're staying there all day. Wind chills are in the single digits. All day.
It's all about the wind. It's bringing the cold and fueling the snow. Gusts to 50mph likely until tonight.
The snow arriving as light snow this morning before intensifying early afternoon. Winds shifting out of the northwest and over Lake Erie will spark the heavier snow. Snowfall rates of up to 1" per hour are possible where the heaviest snow bands set up.
The good news is that with this much wind, it's almost TOO MUCH wind for squalls to persist long. This setup leads to more unorganized bursts of heavy snow.
Either way, be safe, stay alert and check back often for updates.
