One of the busiest travel days of the year will be made more challenging as a winter storm impacts our area late Tuesday (November 25, 2014) into Wednesday. Heaviest accumulations are expected to fall Wednesday – tapering off into the evening.

Tuesday’s temperatures will range from 34 to 49 degrees Fahrenheit. Wednesday will bring colder temperatures in the low 30s and high 20s.

Weather predictions vary from 4 to 8 inches of snow accumulation. Guess we really won’t really know til it happens.
