Separate Rounds Of Snowfall Will Be Followed By Potentially More Significant Storm The start of December is just a day away, but it felt like it came much earlier with persistent cold and scattered snowfall at times in much of the region.

Wednesday, Feb. 24 will be mostly sunny and feel a bit like early spring, wit…
