  Be careful for your morning commute to work or whatever your plans are this morning because the roads could be slick, Now we'll take a look at some forecast snow totals from National Weather Service in the local media and the weather channel.

The similarities we see there is the storm track is about the same but there might be a slight difference accumulations but we all know we are going to get snow if you're in the accumulation area, so be careful for the next 24 hours, and stay warm for the rest of the week and the weekend because the temperatures will drop as the Arctic Circle will pay us a visit, make sure your vehicle is ready for winter, if you've been slacking on changing the oil do it soon enough, ASAP it was yesterday, make sure your tires are at the correct air pressure and make sure your coolant levels are right where they should be, and check out the national weather service website for more winter awareness tips.

The latest radar image shows the snow has arrived.



Have a good day and be careful out there
