Snow showers will continue through Tuesday, particularly in lake-effect prone areas. Temperatures will remain well below normal, with highs only in the low teens and overnight lows falling below zero in some locations. Winds will gradually weaken by Wednesday, providing some relief from the bitter wind chills.

"How much snow is actually on the ground by the time the event ends is still kind of a big question mark, since there could be some melting as we change over from snow to rain on Saturday night to Sunday morning," said Robert Megnia, a NWS meteorologist.
