Good afternoon, everyone. A moderate to heavy band of snow is working across the northern half of the state this afternoon. It has put down a quick inch or two for some spots and similar totals will be possible as it works eastward this afternoon.

The accumulation is mainly on grassy and elevated surfaces. Air temps are above freezing and road temps are well above freezing. This will have little impact on road conditions, though a slick spot will be possible where the snow falls hard enough for a time.

A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for much of the area this afternoon…

Warnings

While I do think this is an Advisory worthy event… it will be used as a future reference in the impact vs. criteria debate. 2″ of slush on grass at 35 degrees meets the criteria for an advisory, but a half inch of snow covering roads at 15 degrees does not. Which of those will have a greater impact on your life?
