Winter Storm Drops Several Inches in Most Areas

Steady snowfall on Saturday produced between 2 and 5 inches.

The snow is falling hard, and it doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a winter storm warning for the area, with as much as 1 foot of snow expected in some areas.
