The National Weather Service reports that Winter Storm Xylia has passed, and while there is a chance of light snow in the forecast for Tuesday, if it does snow, less than an inch of accumulation is expected.

On Wednesday, things will start to warm up, and hopefully, melt the snow enough that we can get our cars out without too much effort. High temps are expected to reach the 50s by the end of this week and into the weekend.
