Despite being four degrees below average so far this December, snowfall has been down.

Another cold, but dry day is in the forecast with most areas in the 30s. A few clouds are expected today as areas to south of us in Virginia and the Carolina’s get hit by a major winter storm. That storm will remain south of the area and exit harmlessly out to sea. 

One of the coldest days of Fall is on tap for today, with highs in the 20s and 30s statewide. Mostly sunny skies expected.
