A Winter Weather Advisory for snow and blowing snow remains in

Periods of light to moderate snow will continue through the
morning hours today... then diminish to flurries this afternoon.
An additional inch or so of snowfall will be possible on top of
the snow that has already fallen. Northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph

this morning... the previously wet roads have turned more icy.

A Winter Weather Advisory for snow means that periods of snow
will cause travel difficulties. Be prepared for slick... snow
