As winter tightens its grip, the upcoming week promises a mix of snow showers and fluctuating temperatures. With highs hovering around 20°F and lows dipping into the teens, this is the classic winter experience. Get ready for chilly days and enjoy the beauty of a snowy landscape. Here’s your guide to what lies ahead and how to handle these changing conditions.
Tuesday: A Start to Wintery Conditions

Expect another dusting of snow, with less than one inch accumulating by dawn.
If you must go out, wear warm clothing and watch your footing; hidden layers of snow can make sidewalks perilous.
