We had a change over back to all snow around 11:30 AM with periods of moderate to heavy snow. At 9:00 AM the NWS changed the Winter Weather Advisory for us to a Winter Storm Warning.

Winds from the NNE at 10 mph gusting to 16 mph. Total accumulation so far is approximately 3.5" but local doppler radar shows moderate and heavy snow should taper off to light snow within the hour with only occasional light snow and snow showers through Tuesday AM. Roads are hazardous at this time.
