With temperatures in the teens, the snow will quickly cover the ground and roads could become quite slippery until they are treated. So far the snow is light with visibilities generally holding in the 1-3 mile range. Snow totals of 1 to 3 inches are expected across the areas before the snow tapers to flurries early Saturday.
