 .DISCUSSION...
 Light snow, primarily in and just west of the mountains, exits this 
 morning after bringing light snow accumulations of around an inch, 
 potentially up to two inches in some locations in and just west of 
 the northern mountains.
 
 Much colder air arriving behind the cold front, and wave of low 
 pressure riding up along it, will keep temperatures from getting out 
 of the 20s today, with teens over the higher mountainous terrain. 
 
 After lows in the tens to around 20 again tonight, even colder air 
 arrives behind an arctic front that crosses on Monday. This sets the 
 stage for very cold and mainly dry weather for the early portion of 
 the new week, with temperatures again not getting out of the 20s 
 Monday and Tuesday, tens higher mountainous terrain.
 
 Widespread single digits are anticipated for lows Tuesday morning, 
 with wind chills ranging from the single digits either side of zero 
 across the lowlands, to the tens below zero over the higher 
 mountainous terrain.
