Snow began Wednesday afternoon and continue through Thursday morning. Total accumulation is expected to be between 8 and 12 inches, along with a trace of ice.

Temperatures are expected to be in the low 30s, with winds of 10-15 mph and gusts up to 20 mph.

It's expected to be a fairly dry snow, making for slippery roadways during the Wednesday evening and Thursday morning commutes.
