Rounds of snow have become lighter this afternoon, but the next bigger and stronger round kicks in this evening and takes us through Tuesday morning.

This will put down hit and run light accumulations.<\/p>\n<p>A strong cold front moves in Thursday night and early Friday with a period of rain that quickly changes to snow as colder air surges back in. The setup behind this features the Polar Vortex invading the country, settling into the Great Lakes late this weekend and early next week. This will likely bring brutally cold temps and wind chills to much of the USA during this time. The arctic front moves in here later Saturday or into Super Bowl Sunday and may have an arctic wave along it producing snows.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what the GFS is showing well&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a
