Additional Snow Accumulations Late Tonight

The map above reflects reported observations. Due to the lack of reports received in some locations the map may not be entirely representative of local values. This is especially true of areas that see high variability in short distances, such as locations affected by narrow, heavy snow bands -or- lake effect snow.
