Snowfall totals and lingering hazards
Meteorologist Nick Dunn reported that the system will deliver 3–6 inches of snow across the area, with isolated amounts near 7 inches south of I‑70 where banding has been pronounced. Snow will continue to drift as gusty winds stir the fresh blanket, creating slippery conditions on secondary roads into Sunday morning.

Wind chills will plunge into the single digits on Sunday with dangerous –10 °F to –20 °F values, making frostbite a risk within 30 minutes of exposed skin. Monday’s morning will be marginally milder, yet still hazardous, before daytime highs climb into the lower‑20s.
