Snow tapers off around midnight and becomes scattered through overnight and early tomorrow. Cold air follows behind, leaving us with lows in the single digits and wind chills below zero with gusts around 15-20mph.

Our highs on Sunday will only be in the low 20s and feeling in the single digits and teens all day, so bundle up if the kids are going to be outside playing.

Monday will also be a cold one with lows in the teens and highs in the low 20s with cloudy skies.
The rest of the week, we are seeing seasonable temperatures return to the low 40s on Wednesday. Rain arrives on Thursday with highs back in the low 50s before we are back to highs in the 30s on Friday.
Right now, it’s not looking like a white Christmas with above-normal temperatures returning around Christmas.
