 .DISCUSSION...
 A strong cold front brings a line of showers and gusty winds across 
 the area overnight, then very windy and much colder weather persists 
 Monday into Tuesday. Precipitation will change to snow in some areas 
 by Monday afternoon, especially for the mountains.
 
 Winter-like weather will be in full control much of this week, with 
 a reinforcing shot of arctic air to ring in the new year while 
 assuring a prolonged period of cold weather, along with another 
 opportunity for snow.
