 .DISCUSSION...
 A significant winter storm will bring heavy snow, sleet, and 
 freezing rain Saturday into Monday. Widespread power outages, and 
 impacts to travel and infrastructure are expected due to snow and 
 ice accumulations. 
 
 Frigid temperatures and bitter wind chills that set in behind this 
 storm are expected to linger through much of the work week. This 
 prolonged period of cold will be especially impactful for those 
 without power in the wake of the weekend storm.
 
 A weak clipper system brings additional cold air and potential for 
 light snow accumulations Wednesday and Thursday.
