 .DISCUSSION...
 Winter returns tonight and Sunday. This system will bring much 
 colder temperatures and accumulating snow overnight through Monday. 
 Precipitation may start as rain early this evening, transitioning to 
 all snow late tonight through Monday. Hazardous travel conditions 
 are anticipated under heavy snow.
 
 Temperatures will plummet into the mid to lower 20s Sunday night, 
 perhaps producing a flash freeze of any lingering surface moisture,
