We continue to monitor the potential for accumulating snow and bitterly cold temperatures late week and into the weekend. Confidence is high in cold temperatures with wind chills falling into the -15 to -20 degree range and possibly as low as -25 degrees Saturday. As for snow exact amounts are still being worked out with most of the area having a chance of at least one inch.
