It’s been another day stuck in the Arctic airmass, but at least we’ve got a little sun this afternoon. The slow-moving storm responsible for this extreme cold and snow will finally begin to push eastward tonight through Thursday. This will dump another round of light snow upon us before things dry out and temperatures start to climb back towards normal in the coming days. We discuss how much snow has fallen so far and what is still to come this evening. Plus a look at when we will get back above freezing
