The current snowpack will be important when it comes to supporting below normal temperatures across the region. At this point, after a brief period of very cold temperatures through tomorrow, warmer air will become more predominent as colder air reloads in the north. However, the snow pack will temper the incoming warmth, allowing for precipitation events to be mainly in the form of snow and ice.
