UPDATE: 2:20 P.M. TUESDAY:

Lake effect snow showers will continue off and on tonight and again tomorrow-keeping roads wet, and reducing visibility at times. Additional snow accumulation will be light, but-untreated surfaces will be icy as temperatures hover in the mid 20s.

Check on neighbors who may struggle keeping their homes warm. And don't forget the pets - bring them indoors and, keep an eye on their paws after walking, as snow, ice and rock salt can aggravate them.

You'll need the extra layers to stay warm again at the bus stop tomorrow morning, as wind chills dip into the teens.
