The snowfall should begin to subside from west to east through
tonight as the favorable wind trajectories and cold air aloft over
the Lakes begins to wane following an influx of warmer air from
the southwest as surface ridging over the Mid-Mississippi Valley
translates eastward. 

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 AM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
