The crazy thing about this pattern is the snow is not the big story. The big story is the arctic air that has settled in. We will remain below freezing for over 80 hours - until lunchtime Wednesday. Wind chill values at Sunday night into Monday morning will be below zero with actual overnight temperatures in the single digits. Because of this a Cold Weather Advisory will be in effect from 6pm Sunday through Noon Monday.
