 .DISCUSSION...
 Rain and snow will end from west to east this morning, as a cold 
 front crosses. Light accumulations have taken place in southeast 
 Ohio and were occurring in the northern and central mountains, With 
 temperatures below freezing in those areas, be prepared for slippery 
 roads. Elsewhere, temperatures were near or above freezing, with 
 snow or rain and snow mixed, even just rain across the southern 
 lowlands of West Virginia.  
 
 Snow and rain showers are possible later today, as a secondary cold 
 from passes. This may bring light additional snow accumulations on 
 the mountains. 
 
 Much colder air arrives behind this secondary front late today and 
 tonight, and then even more so behind an arctic front that crosses 
 on Monday. This sets the stage for very cold and dry weather for the 
 early portion of next week.
