Special Statement


... Snowfall will make for slick driving this morning...

Light to moderate snow will spread across the area and persist
through the morning commute today. Accumulations will only be an
inch or two at most locations... but falling snow will reduce
visibility to below two miles at times and lead to slick Road
conditions. Drivers are urged to use caution especially in areas
where the roads have not been treated or plowed.
