Good Sunday evening everyone. A WINTER WEATHER ADVOISORY is now out for much of the tri-state overnight into early Monday as a clipper dives in with a band of light to moderate snows. A general 1"-2" will be possible with local amounts to 3" possible. This will cause slick travel overnight into early tomorrow.

That's all for now... I will have a bigger update later tonight so check back. Take care.

PREVIOUS UPDATE

Good Sunday to one and all. The major winter storm that blasted the tri state has left one heck of a mark with totals of 3"-30". Thousands of people remain without power after close to a foot of heavy wet snow fell across parts of the region. Travel was a nightmare as thousands, were stranded for a long period of time as the snow came down fast and furious. This was literally a life threatening snowstorm for many areas.

Look at some of the totals...

We will continue to see some light snows across the area early today before we break out into mostly cloudy skies. Our attention will quickly turn to a clipper moving in this evening into early Monday.  Here are the radars to track the snows...



A big storm will crank up in the days leading up to Christmas and should bring a wide variety of weather to us and that is something we will be talking much more about with an update coming later today. Have a great Sunday and take care.

    With the snowpack in place, one would think the cold air would push the low to our south and east? Keep an eye on New Years. Some weather blogs/ sights are already pointing to storm 3.?.?.

    With more snow coming lets hope Cabell Co. Schools has the brains to close schools for Monday. I mean seriously. Milton has 12 inches of snow and more coming tonight. They need to close even if its just for monday.

    How ANYONE with just a remote knowledge of this area could criticize Chris or any of the WSAZ weather team is beyond me.....we should all know that 10 miles in any direction here can be the difference of a dusting of snow to 5". I have lived here all my life(and that's been awhile), and it's always been that way (although I admit, snows use to be a lot deeper, and more frequent...but I can't see how that is Chris's fault lol). This blog has done wonders for WSAZ weather watchers....and all those that beat up on Chris here sure seem to still be checking it out!!!!!!! GREAT JOB Chris, keep up the wonderful job you are doing. My compliments to Seriously....great comment!!

    In Scioto County, we received only 3" of snow, less on pavemment, so we were lucky or not so lucky, depending on one's viewpoint. I am concerned about the freezing rain the Weather Channel says we'll have on Christmas Eve. I'm more interested in what Chris has to say about it.

    Ummm Marcus, perhaps you can start your own cable access channel-- may I suggest W-ONLYASHLAND as the call letters-- but if you'd realize that WSAZ's audience reaches way beyond Ashland you'd know that most of the people watching got buried in snow!! So... get over your ego-centric self and get on that cable channel thing.
