Dig out that shovel because snow is in the forecast tonight
Whether you like it or not, you'll need to dig out that shovel because snow is in the forecast starting tonight.
Officials from the National Weather Service said the forecast calls for intermittent rain tonight changing to wet snow before ending early Thursday morning.
The snow is not expected to accumulate, but if enough falls, slushy roads and covered windshields could be sitting there when people wake up for their morning work commute.
Winds of up to 20 m.p.h. are expected to accompany the snowfall, officials said.
