come south to the james river isle of wight and something also under winter weather advisory some accumulating snow this afternoon before transition to rain later tonight. travel later today is going to become i think treacherous even out to the west here and then farther west the series in the pink you can see the northern neck the little peninsula williamsburg james city county areas west of that the communities out there nor just wanna like that some of those out towards richmond winter storm warning that extends down to the franklin area in southampton obviously surrey and sussex and into north carolina we have the advisories around gates at her for dan to bert e and then from northampton winter storm warning so we're set for this now as we go through the day the snow approaches from the southwest. it'll be late morning here on eleven twelve o'clock of the snow approaches with some mixing potentially across the metro have used a lot to the west in the rain really starts to transition as temperatures

north carolina. upper thirties. this is by the early evening around seven or eight o'clock. note the temperatures actually warming during the evening snow and nicks continues out to the west with the rain and heavy rain at that along with stronger winds later tonight so much to look at and so much to consider here snow on the backside of the system likely late saturday so we are to continue to watch it right now leading edge down to the south but that still is filling in will show you some live reports from other parts of the region will talk about this coming up. here's a quick look at seven a lot to consider ashley right now though the roads not looking to bad weather was not at all crazy really bad traffic wise either i mean we do have the usual pickups in the usual spots but the rest of the area still doing very well just now starting to see a little bit more volume at the midtown tunnel to give you that live look now really on the eastbound side it's really not a major pickup as you can see here but you will slow down just a little bit as you're approaching the tunnel and you're headed

westbound traffic in the port of nothing any issues but again you can see that stream starting to form into the midtown tunnel portsmouth into norfolk. now back on the traffic network the forsaken camera. we have it up and running i do want to give you the latest on the five sixty four table station norfolk. we still have pretty substantial delays back to terminal boulevard but at this point not seeing those big delays on sixty four so a bit of good news there. i'll keep you posted on traffic here and will take traffic at the jr be coming up next time ashley thank you at this hour there are several schools are closed and many schools are dismissing early their schooling at the bottom of your screen you can also visit their teen years now dot com for up to date closures and delays winter weather like this always puts a strain on the power grid more more people at home consuming more energy at dominion virginia power knows this so they're getting ready to make sure your power doesn't go out as a storm rolls through central park is live in norfolk with more on what the meaning is doing to

actually the spot were a lot of people go to prepare for the storm worm right outside a grocery store that just opened this is a spot that a lot of people go and do their preparations to get ready for the storm were out in our mobile weather lab checking out the situation here. now we do know that we're not the only ones who are preparing for the storm dominion as you mentioned has been preparing actually all week long getting ready for the storm i'm told their crews are ready. whatever the storm may bring in fact they're prepared to work twenty four hours a day if they need to get their trucks are gassed up and supplied with everything they need light replacement poles transformers fuses but also things like change for their tires and cleats ice cleats so that they are prepared to drive walk climb poles anywhere they have to to get the job done so they will be ready to go no matter what she said something else that our viewers can do that would be a good idea is to go on to

now and i log on there and you can sign up for text alerts have to be nice to let customers know about something you will know automatically to that something good something else that she mentioned that a lot of people might not think about that you might wanna think about if you're heading up to the grocery store the gas station is to head to the atm as well to get cash now because if we were to lose power or something those eight teams will not work which has the best advice be prepared no matter what happens because it's always better to be safe than sorry guys enough except a park or thirteen years now all right thanks so much said rebekah is working across the state to make sure the roads are safe if you have to travel and we have paula miller on the phone from the dot she is in franklin right now checking in on her cruise good morning paula has it going. good morning all things are quiet here but we know that's going to change later in the day i met r franklin residency in court when this morning and are cruising here they have actually like last night completed pre treatment the roads out here in

they have all the major on primary roads last night and even some of the secondary roads they were able to pre treat in advance of the approaching winter storm and in this area they're probably going to see some accumulations in fact as much as eight inches the toll and toll possibly on the western and that their district which is in the emporia area which we cover so they have the plows out of the warming them up in minutes ago and they're good people carry on working hard we pre treated interstate yesterday on the south side that began pre treating interstate on the peninsula specifically in the williamsburg area and point lead on wednesday and then also worked on the peninsula area of newport news to the entrance bridge tunnel yesterday so we're preparing you know all the variations in weather activity from snowfall changing to rain on

clear cut resources and personnel ready to respond for any event in addition to the emporia area what other problem areas. do you think that just focusing on right now in terms of where you have a lot of snow accumulations with a problem in the past i think the way the bird area of up to the new cans on headed into richmond cord or where they go see more significant accumulations that's why we started the pre treatment early on wednesday on because we knew that the western end of the williamsburg district on and that very area that the accumulation of more than we would closer to the moon or off with the virginia beach region on not to say we wouldn't see some snowfall but certainly the williamsburg area and points left uk area where we saw those accumulations on at least that the dusting last

push a little closer at least the snow flying aloft now to take a little while for some the stuff to mix down to the ground but it is getting closer to us and a little bit later this morning it's going to start phil and i'd say by mid morning look for snow showers around here and certainly by late morning we're going to see snow and mixed transition to rain later this afternoon but you can see again the advancing age is really pushing into northeast north carolina i get aloft as if all someone that is evaporating take a look at the regional forecasts rain near the coast ron henderson new bern but snow mixing with rain and some heavier snow out to the west we're going to see the snow for dc in charlottesville roanoke richmond potentially historic snowfalls out into the western parts of the commonwealth in north carolina a mix of heavy snow some icy conditions potentially out that way as well. locally temps are going to climb through the afternoon were in the low

will see those temperatures climbing up before we get the bag to assure the air is off to the north i hit the wrong button it will take a look for the finance law lower to mid thirties this morning better chances for accumulating snow for the northern neck middle peninsula williamsburg area is west and then again we'll see more of a mixer transition to rain closer to the coast the eastern shore down across north carolina there the next is well here's the next three days obviously we are going to see the wintry weather today transition to rain rain tomorrow morning changing back to snow tomorrow night and then sunday improvements coming. let's check in now with ashleigh with a look at the jr all right greg much calmer here on the traffic network cameras and maps you can see seventy northbound and southbound pretty usual across the g r beasley don't have any issues to report their trap and doing fine back on the traffic network maps though the three areas are really watching five sixty four westbound in the naval station norfolk sixty four west around bay avenue will be around granite street as well. also traffic

the midtown tunnel so i have an update on all three of those spots for you coming up here in just a few minutes also we're going to check traffic onto sixty four in virginia beach. i actually think you and along with the storm we're following breaking news this morning involving a uva student see

ah, this lucky boy... he has no idea what's coming. my taste - so huge, yet so unexpected. i'm like a boxer in a ring. a small boxer. you don't expect much... and then, wham! i hit 'em with a whole lotta creamy goodness! left! right! uppercut! leaving taste buds... deliciously dizzy!

be restocked with snow supplies in case you didn't get your snow shopping done attraction to her was on the peninsula yesterday anna stores that cleaned out we were there to see its red cross has a list of things that they say you have to have a case of emergency that includes flashlights batteries and also non perishable food and water having a snow shovel some ice melt snow scraper that are just getting new information of the portsmouth schools in the closing three hours early today says one in a growing list of schools across the area the clothes will be releasing early today we have close to forty seven schools right now on thirty news not come soon go there and check it constantly updating it throughout mori diane craig is back now so we're think a mid to late morning is for the immediate metro were already starting to see at least a loft and we talk about you you hear these terms a law forcing the way up above where the snow was starting to fall. it's actually falling pushing to the extreme southwest part of

as it falls initially it evaporates or you just go away because at low level is so dry so it is going to continue to moisten up the atmosphere through the morning and by late morning i expect the snow showers to move in and it'll be earlier than that for erie's off to the south and west. what we have in general terms a crippling storm for central western and northern parts of virginia. you know a lot of times you'll hear reporters or anchors saying on monster storms come in and you know me or live like ok let's let's pump the brakes on this one really warrants these kinds of terms we think about how much snow is going to fall across other parts of virginia north and west up through the northeast us huge storm system for us. strong winds high tides and heavy rain. we're going to see snow for awhile or some mixed precipitation a transition to rain and we really have two periods of snow one of the beginning and again one at the end not mention the wins and those winds are going to increase as the day

will continue to be very windy tomorrow that's going to push are tied up while we are partly cloudy skies this morning clouds increase we will see chances for the next precipitation snow even by late morning but certainly through the afternoon snow likely with the transition to next and then rain this evening as the temperatures go up he saw that as we head into the evening thirty nine to forty degrees. first i levels go you can see we're going to find the tides building is well maybe some nuisance flooding this evening around eight o'clock with the high tide but the minor tidal flooding expected saturday morning and again saturday evening so we do have a coastal flood watch and high wind watch for our immediate area are want to focus on the storm system the snow is approaching we can get very close here and say what's happening. this is down into bertie county. just the leading edge at least a lot some light flurries starting but heavier snow to the southwest i was just checking storm reports and

grab the stuff is actually a little farther to the southwest so it's just starting to come in this trend where we see the increasing amounts will continue through the mid to late morning and as we head towards eleven twelve o'clock snow lightly around the metro certainly next to snow with heavier amounts of snow farther inland roads are going to be impacted through the afternoon ashley smith going to be here covering that for you throughout the afternoon will be doing additional kinds as needed throughout the day to keep you informed as to what's going on. you'll notice near the coast that transition to rain we are going to see rain as temperatures warm upper thirties to low forties late afternoon into the evening across the area. rain can be heavy at times were talking maybe a couple inches of rain in some spots and then the wind as well driving those tides lot of emotion moves out saturday that we get wrap around moisture on the backside cold enough for snow still around richmond and petersburg in emporia that's why they're looking at potential for heavier

we could get some additional accumulating snow later saturday saturday evening as it winds down a snow showers improvements are coming sunday could see leftover snow shower early but we'll see more sunshine later here's a quick look at our snow forecast and again keep in mind the rain will knock down some of these totals but late saturday early sunday we could wake up with a little more snow out there on the backside of the system obviously the heavy snow farther inland temperatures right now in the low thirties and upper twenties. we will one day and this evening temperatures come up to the forties tomorrow lou mid forties early turning cold late why we get that transition back to snow tomorrow evening and early sunday. any spy snow showers land clearing late sunday monday tuesday look at another chance for showers middle of next week i catch my breath as she her turn we have on traffic has it been busy this morning train you'll be busy throughout the day it will be busy on the traffic network as the morning progresses in that weather starts to move

mentioned stay with us and will keep you posted. for now i do want to take a look at some good traffic out in virginia beach on to sixty four to westbound traffic passing rosemont road eastbound headed in the direction of the oceanfront. also in very nicely this morning so nothing to worry about on to sixty four one ahead now to five sixty four were again you are still seeing heavy traffic making its way toward abel station norfolk. but let's focus on the improvement. this is the chamber's field halfway down by sixty four west before this point before you see these delays actually traffic is moving at very well now so at the sixty four interchange no delays. excuse me at irma boulevard. we don't have any delays either just start right here at chambers field as we're approaching the runway tunnel so a bit of good news they are keeping a very close eye on the delay for you and will check traffic newport news to supper at the monitor merrimack coming up next kerry daschle thank you closings and delays still rolling in guises the storm has this way but what if your boss wants you to work despite the weather warning

give me miles, lots of miles, under starry skies above. don't fence me in. let me fly any time, any airline that i love,

give me a mile and a half for every buck i spend. double my miles when the first year ends. no annual fees, no blackouts, let the fun begin. don't fence me in. get the discover it miles card. well the snow brings closings delays and so many questions but there is a state of emergency in the roads are bad can my employer still require me to go to work well the answer is yes absolutely. state officials do not have

private businesses. north carolina and virginia are what's called employment at will states that means that your employer can require you to be at work regardless of what it looks like outside so you may be thinking but i have responsibilities like my kids. the bottom line is if they're nice they may go help you out but as harsh as it sounds it is not your employer's problem. whew tough outs six twenty five to time whether work or yet another road trip is in your future. how do you get your car that is stuck in the snow and ice out and on the road just remember the acronym cats. the c stands for clearer path to give your tires some room to roll a is for an attraction like spreading salt sand or kitty litter in the direction you want to go and t is for tires deflate your tires a little but for better traction and finally s which stands for straight your wheels before you start. throw kitty litter yeah keep in a new truck this add a quick reminder for you today is the last day that we're going to pick a

contest a break is giving one lucky viewer a chance to win a trip for two to new york city and includes a two night stay. airfare tickets to see good morning america in times square all of this a two thousand dollar value you can still have one last chance to watch for the keyword in the six o'clock hour. another hour the man entered into their teen years now to calm our family continued their t's night a break in store mode this morning as a snowstorm threatens the entire east coast greg they will take here in hampton roads is forecast and then we continue to follow

all the rows behind the scenes thousands of the doctors working visually this morning live with preparations on the peninsula and state of emergency declared up and down the mid atlantic as the region prepares to be paralyzed by snow sleet and ice. good morning it is friday and a sister to newsnight a break and was just a month by month receiver we also will let you know there's breaking news

morning were university of virginia student has been arrested in that country details in just a moment but first we get to forecast and pride you call this the calm before the storm not much left though right. not much time left as the system is getting closer take a look at his beautiful sky the dosa breaks in the clouds right now as we look out towards the coast. clouds are rolling in though from the west the southwest of nigeria's clouds but some precipitation as well. sry that moment thirty two at the airport northeast winds sixty mph winds are going to increase it later today and tonight you know we could see some gusts forty to fifty mph so a lot to come and to consider over the coming days and we're going to be taking a look at all that for years we go a long winter weather advisory right now for the peninsula newport news hampton also york and the coast and south side you can see around something and i'll bite the series under winter weather advisory and then gets down to hartford thirty areas west of that

james city county surrey sussex southampton franklin and north hampton north carolina also the middle peninsula and the northern neck all under winter storm warnings so that's what's going on and this is a huge system you can see this snow extends all the way back across kentucky tennessee back towards arkansas we've got a live picture we could shave from little rock snow on the backside of the cyst is still coming down a massive storm system to be sure i will come back to what we're going to find here across our area the snow is going to move in temperature starting off upper twenties low thirties is you can see in as we go through the day the snow showers approaching it's going to transition to rain near the coast later as we head to the afternoon but i still think a decent amount of snow or mixing really impacting the rose tremendously through the afternoon and evening to the north and west and then the changeover to rain we're going to see the increasing winds tides building is

and this is just really seeming to see the rain early tomorrow and then snow transitioning on the backside of this late saturday. i have it all for yoshi snowfall amounts are going to talk about how those wins and the tides as well coming up keep it right here right now check in with ashley while it's dry now you know the changes are common ashley absolutely they are and we'll be tracking things through out the day make sure to stick with thirteen years now will have the latest free ride around town. of course created to be keeping a very close eye on these weather conditions right now traffic is still doing pretty well in most spots to give you a live look at one of those spots now six sixty four northbound and southbound on the newport news cited monday merrimack here's your northbound traffic headed further into newport news. the folks here are making their way to the towels are no big issues there to report our second camera as we head out now talk to bay avenue and sixty four right and norfolk you can see here. no issues to report on sixty four as you take that exit the bay avenue

much better there as well minor delays as you approach the base gates but again that these traffic is really improving so stick with us i believe is for the rest of your delays will explain what the secondary as well talk about that when i come back hi ashley thank you so much we're going to get back to our store mode coverage in just a minute but first we have breaking news to report north korea says it has arrested a university of virginia students for quote anti state acts korean central news agency the state run media there reports authorities are investigating otto frederick warne va the report says that the student who is in north korea on a tourist visa allegedly plotted to undermine north korea system and has links to the u s governments are going to keep following the story and update you as we learn more now back to our storm coverage right now there are dozens of closures and early dismissals across the region and we just got word literally moments ago the gates county schools closed for the day all

right there it's all schooling at the bottom of the screen. we're constantly updating it throughout the day and our storm coverage with the roads and it can be a big issue right now that's not the case later today will be though since it's right across the region the back rooms are all out in full force mentally preparing for the potential of winter weather early brown joins us now live. she's tracking conditions on the men's leagues and a museum in williamsburg on richmond road the roads are cleared right now but later today that could change but a city spokeswoman tells me they are ready for an overhead this way never cease as of around four hundred tines of a salt sand mixture they say they don't pre treat the roads by when the snowfall does say crews will be deployed out in full force when that sand salt mixture and when the plows all throughout the week people and then preparing for this storm that includes how to drive in wintry conditions just

trying to seal off the road if you do have to drive they say to stay calm and keep at least eight to ten seconds worth of driving distance to the us any emergency panic braking at that time the car will skid the car does kid we used to say it started to skip new study show that turning out of this kid looking to the direction of where you want the car to go is now the safest way to do it to my also said that not to use cruise control how the winds burned throughout the morning keeping you updated on the conditions out here live in williamsburg elise brown thirteen years now. all right elise thank you for that very first or millions of americans in the path of snow sleet and ice the people in

the winter weather i drive a golf ball. i drive to the hoop. i drive a racecar. i have a driver. his name is carl. but that's not what we all have in common. we talked to our doctors about treatment with xarelto . xarelto is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well

there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. you know, taking warfarin, i had to deal with that blood testing routine. i couldn't have a healthy salad whenever i wanted. i found another way. yeah, treatment with xarelto . hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto , watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto , tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto is the number one prescribed blood thinner in its class. well that calls for a round of kevin nealons. make mine an arnold palmer. same here. with xarelto there is no regular blood monitoring

treatment with xarelto was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto . are we looking at snow with this storm system extending all the way back to little rock we have one of our stations out there that we can take right now is she the snow falling back there again this is little rock arkansas i talk about the size and scope of this storm system it is a huge storm is going to produce potentially historic snowfall

even western north carolina set for extremely heavy snow so there's the back edge you can see once you go west of little rock. the system ans but look at how far to the isa to extend rain very heavy rain pushing past the atlanta metro area snow increasing across north carolina and pushing closer and closer to hampton roads we're going to see the precipitation starting later this morning continuing as snow and a mix into the early afternoon by mid to late afternoon more of a transition to rain there could be some accumulating snow to the early afternoon some of that may stick for a little while but then as the rain comes it's going to wash away the first round around the metro will see potential for additional snow on the backside of the system late saturday into sunday sun that we could wake up to some snow on the ground in areas so today what his deal with what we have to get through today rain and snow the next i initially snow mix changing to rain later temperatures will climb to the upper thirties and to

around virginia beach staying cooler in one this is why the heavier snow will develop and continue out to the west also the winter storm warnings for the northern neck the middle peninsula temperatures today staying close to freezing the snow add up there and down to the south will see temperatures warming with a quicker transition to rain especially around the outer banks to show you the snowfall projections coming up here with my next update will have that for just couple minutes right now we'll check in with ashley's see how the road to look ard craig we had a bit of a busy morning on the southside on sixty four little but five sixty four that starting to improve. we haven't yet talked about traffic on the peninsula specifically in newport news so one give you a live look at sixty four westbound and eastbound at victory boulevard where traffic is flowing freely no major pickup in volume so it's been a good news for you if you're about to head out the door now known the traffic network maps again we do still have some delays around the base and around the midtown tunnel i will talk about that in

still seeing an accident that could've resulted with a downed power pole the eighteen hundred block of elbow road right now the road is closed expected to reopen at seven o'clock between now and that you're about to head out use indian river personable turnpike to get around the scene of that crash and again coming up in a few minutes we'll head to the base to trap the bear and will check traffic at the midtown nine ashley thank you and still to come we're talking with the communications coordinator for the city of hampton hear what he has to say about preparations in

all: milk! milk! milk! milk! milk! okay! fun's over. aw. aw. thirsty? they said it would make me cool. they don't sound cool to me. guess not. you got to stick up for yourself, like with the name your price tool. people tell us their budget, not the other way around. aren't you lactose intolerant?

. although already a month old winter issues than writing for much of the east coast said one difference it's making with the storm dubbed a monster props are underway in the mid atlantic region were up to two feet of snow may fall by tomorrow especially around the nation's capital where dc already declared a state of emergency there and the carolinas are bracing for sleet rain with the potential of ice making roads dangerous for drivers we haven't covered here in our neck of the woods and good morning america has uncovered another part of the country look for live reports from d c north carolina new jersey starting

given on props around our region as well right now we have for gas cans on the phone he is the communications coordinator for the city of hampton. good morning fred thank you so much for getting up and talking with us for morning was our problem in our we know that at hampton schools closed early the announcer this morning what is the city due to the storm anything else but you know what people should know for the most fearful of one of the vote when the snow and rain began to sit in them including the votes were cast to the repair crew was ready to go to work on twelve of twelve hour schedule and we've got equipment and the end everything else to do with this. now mr. vasquez could you tell us about any particular hot spots we would say people should be on this avenue freeman drive aberdeen any places specifically that

that area more than another week with title of the bridges in particular the nation's major roadways the areas where people are really going to travel and holes are so many areas like that should be careful and they should always be traveling with him and i doing on the clip but in no mood for in the past guests have a pretty sizable snow budget how much equipment as the pier to watch on the roads to the clean up after this truth rooms. well we have of more than the more than forty bushel to equipment including twenty six for six brian for twenty additional pieces of equipment that can be used as needed. we also that seventeen hundred tons of salt fifteen thousand gallons of brine available five thousand gallons of ocean floor i sold right now we were prepared to deal with with what i mean right well good luck to you guys will

the hampton as well as all the other seven cities in wisconsin he got cracked. all you were saying earlier in the newscast that you're expecting around late morning was going to see that wintry mix of mid to late morning it'll push into the southwest for the metro area it's going to come in probably late morning and then continue mix or snow initially maybe some accumulating snow and then a transition to rain that's going to wash away a lot but they're going to be some other issues and one of the things you mention were just talking with hampton we've been on with the dot talking about the air is a little farther up the peninsula middle peninsula as well with the potential for the next maybe some sleet there could be some power issues of syria's power issues and we are with dominion power's well because not only are we going to have the wintry weather to weigh down some of those power lines and trees but it's going to get really windy as well and that's a recipe that can be very very messy. here's a weekend storm just general expectations let me just touch on a few time points here this morning

precipitation roll in later this morning from the southwest now she wears is just a moment as we go to the afternoon we're going to see the snow and mixed precipitation the intensity increasing will see the next changeover to rain near the coast and for northeast north carolina closer to the outer banks now there will be a transition at some point this afternoon but how quickly or how slowly that transition takes place well impact tremendously how our roads are looking this afternoon ashley will be working throughout the morning in this afternoon to cover those changeable road conditions you want to make sure that you check in with us we would say hey you wanna put off travel later today. obviously with the messy conditions but you need to stay updated on what's going on across the region were going to have you covered in every way this afternoon into night so tonight warmer air mixes in much of the precipitation will change to rain except there is far north and west and the wind you can increase twenty to thirty five mph

reach forty. or maybe even forty five to fifty mph so going to be watching that layton and that's going to drive our tides up a shoe that i forecast here just a moment what we need tomorrow rain changing back to snow tomorrow evening then tapering off into early sunday. here's a look at schools point you can see minor tidal flooding expected saturday morning and saturday afternoon tides will build today at yorktown very similar onyx expectations here with the tides peeking around five for tomorrow with minor till most moderate tidal flooding potentially there so we'll continue to keep you updated. the worst appears. tomorrow's high tide in the morning and then hopefully a little bit lower with the later tied saturday night the snow is improve they are increasing rather intense find just off to the southwest you see the leading edge will take a little closer look and i'll show you how starting to push now across northampton still not sporting this note i yet but about to go into it

the viewing area and i'm on covering for the studios you'll see this note i am that stand by we'll be putting on quickly it'll definitely be needed later this morning in the afternoon is snowing the next sets up across the area the transition to rain later this afternoon evening rain heavy at times we could get a couple inches of rain in some spots in the wind intensifying as well. notice the snow very heavy north of richmond and will see the cold air wrapping around the backside and as we go through the overnight saturday night into early sunday snow showers still possible we could get some additional minor accumulations before sunrise sunday. it looks like sunday we're going to see skies clearing out so here's a look at the snow amounts in general pain all this down continue to refine it i think it raised to three inches for some areas here but the rain will knock it down so initially maybe an inch or so before we get the rain. transitioning asian have something like that and then it washes away could get
