Today
Mostly cloudy. Snow likely early...then a chance of snow rain this afternoon. Accumulation an inch or less. Highs in the upper 30s. South winds 10 mph or less...becoming west. Chance of precipitation 60 percent.
Tonight
Mostly cloudy. A chance of snow in the evening...then steadier snow overnight. Additional accumulation 2 to 3 inches. Lows in the upper 20s. Light winds...becoming northeast 10 to 20 mph. Chance of snow 80 percent.
Just as I planned to click away from the forecast, I noticed a red weather alert. I clicked on it and discovered:
GeneseeWhich is it, NOAA? Just snow showers and little accumulation or the possibility of 10"? I guess we just have to sit back and wait and see.
