For the forecast the warm moist air has been finally displaced by some cooler air as a West-North West flow takes over in our zone. Expect another impulse of snow later tonight into tomorrow morning. Today will be mostly unsettled with a few flurries and the possibility of the sun popping out. A weak ridge aloft will arrive for Monday giving us more unsettled weather with the possibility of a flurry in the afternoon. Another low pressure system will converge on our area for Tuesday into Wednesday as a cold front should bring us decent snowfall and high winds into Wednesday morning. Another weak high pressure system will be here for Thursday. Guesstimates: Today 0-2 cm, Monday morning 8-12 cm, Monday Afternoon 0-1 cm, Tuesday 0-2 cm, Wednesday Morning 20-25 cm, Thursday 3-5 cm
