... SNOW COVERED ROADS AND SNOW SHOWERS THIS MORNING...

MAINLY LIGHT LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. HOWEVER... A FEW LOCALIZED SNOW BANDS MAY STILL PRODUCE BRIEF PERIODS OF REDUCED VISIBILITIES AND ADDITIONAL ACCUMULATIONS UP TO AN INCH OR TWO THIS MORNING. ROADS REMAIN SNOW COVERED AND SLICK SO USE CAUTION WHILE DRIVING AND ALLOW EXTRA TIME TO REACH YOUR DESTINATION.
