A very wintry weather pattern is unfolding, which will take us into the weekend with several more rounds of snow. The snow will be a combination of system snow with some lake enhancement, and lake effect snow. With even colder air on tap for next week, robust lake effect snow showers will continue to pile up some impressive totals!
