Just a Dusting
A light snowfall began earlier in the evening, with slight chances of snow continuing through daybreak on Tuesday. Although accumulations are forecast to be less than an inch, the seasonal sight was just enough to coat the frozen grounds in the community. No major interruptions to the morning commute are expected, albeit possibly slick.
