This noon it is a cold one out there. Some places in the region are already experiencing snowfall, i hear. Grab the heavy coat today. Doug hill is here with a look at the forecast.

Chilly temperatures tonight, but the chills will feel like in the 20s and 30s through the afternoon and the nighttime hours. Aft
