Cold back

Another cold blast has invaded the area, and will stay to the end of the week. We will be mainly storm free, but I can't rule out a passing flurry over the next few days. After a quiet start to the weekend, a powerful ocean storm will make a close pass to the area on Sunday. This could be the first significant snow of the season- but it still to early to determine the exact track of the low.
