 .DISCUSSION...
 A blustery, wintry day is on tap today in the wake of a strong cold 
 front. Temperatures will fall to around freezing across the lowlands 
 and into the 20s in the mountains by dawn, level off through the 
 day, and then fall a bit further later tonight night.
 
 Snow showers and snow squalls are likely today, which will briefly 
 but abruptly reduce visibility, and could make roads slick and 
 travel hazardous. Snowfall accumulations of 4 to 8 inches are 
 expected in the northeast mountains, with a coating to up to 2 
 inches across the lowlands, depending on where heavier bands track. 
 Localized heavier amounts will be possible over area directly hit by 
 a snow squall. Temperatures will be at or below freezing during 
 heavier snow showers and snow squalls.
 
 Temperatures moderate amid dry weather early in the new work week, 
 ahead of another cold front arriving midweek that could bring rain, 
 then snow showers.
