Many of us picked up a nice coating of snow to start the day.

Our system moving in for Sunday into Monday will continue to focus much of the winter weather just to our north. The leading edge of the precipitation shield can start out as a light mix for many, with the best chance for that being in the north.

Current indications are for a wave, or waves, or low pressure to develop along this boundary.

First off&#8230; Let me say to them, thanks for reading everything I say and watching me on TV. I must be doing something right for them to hang onto every word I type or say. Right?<\/p>\n<p>I get that it&#8217;s probably a tough pill for some of the egos to swallow&#8230; having someone in a neighboring market with more of a following in their own city than they have. Perhaps if they devoted more time to actually working instead of &#8220;unplugging&#8221; when they aren&#8217;t at work, they too would have a massive weather following. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>And for the record&#8230; I could care less what any other TV station or weather blog forecasts. I only care about what I do and working my backside off to keep you guys safe and up to date.<\/p>\n<p>I will have another update for you guys later today. Stay warm out there and take care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Friday, folks. Many of us picked up a nice coating of snow to start the day.
