Will take some time for the colder air to filter in this afternoon, but behind the front, the snow level should drop like a rock by tonight. Will get very cold, very fast tonight with snow showers overnight into tomorrow. Another, very heavy band of snowfall should arrive tomorrow night into Wednesday. We could see snowfall rates overnight/Wed AM upto 2-3 inches per hour! So she's comin!
