Sunday is expected to see some sun.
There also is the chance of another snow Sunday night and Monday, though the trend has been toward lower impact of that follow-up system. There will also be chances for snow Monday night through Tuesday and again late in the week.
Cold weather temperatures are for at least another week to ten days.
