you probably enjoy this. see in the shot shore. no snow. story is wind and cold. or windchill that makes it feel cold. most of the snow we are seeing is all lake effect. first of all. but tapers off by lunch time. but we stay windy. we may not see more snow or maybe scattered right now showers it is really done by lunch time. 35 degrees throughout the morning. half the story. feels like mid 20s. so bundle up. splotchyness around strongville. and some of it is more the pellets. the graupel. we saw a lot of that yesterday. soft hail. but biggest line of lake effect snow showers dwindling. so time to come inland. may field drying out. bainbridge you are getting heaviest of the snow right now. if you are heading out. heads up. tricky driving. not quite done with this. but one of the reasons why, i think, you need to take your sunglasses. look at the cloud cover. lower deck but, i think, it is one of those set ups you could be out at the browns game and full on sunshine for seconds. so take sunglasses, it protects your eyes from wind. we have snow. high pressure off, toward the west. and ultimately we are kind of squished in the middle. that gives us the big winds and high pressure moves in. and ultimately pushes snow out. monday weather. more sunshine. but still have the winds. and still cold. future view really uneventful. as you go through the daytime. snow really starts to wind down. almost totally out of here. probably before lunch for some of you. 38 and 39 today and tomorrow. wind and windchills will make it seem like mid 20s and upper 20s. by tuesday we have things better. more sunshine. 45 degrees. and wednesday is next system. i have it coming in wednesday. in the form of rain. rain showers could continue thursday. friday looks to be a hit or miss day. we could be get rain, snow, sleet mix. so i made it an alert day. because everyone goes out early friday morning. and shops. which is not a bad day for it. >> anchor: that's good. ? ?. ?. >> anchor: get out of your head. what makes those ear worms? we are looking at the science behind those catchy tunes. >> anchor: it is estimated that 90 percent of us experience an ear worm, at least, once a week. you know pesky songs you cannot get out of your head? why certain tunes play on repeat in our mind. tiffani tongueer gets answers. >> reporter: apologies upfront. you are about to get a bunch of pop songs stuck in your head. ? ?. >> reporter: music psychologist in uk create a survey to come up with a list of catchy songs and analyzed the results to see what they all had in common. they found every ear worm had to. ? ? ear worms are also simple and structured with a rhythmic pattern. sounds may rise in pitch and go back down low and rise again. many nursery rhymes fit this pattern to help children remember them. finally the songs all breakup that pattern with a few unique intervals to make it stand out. ? researchers hope understanding will add incite in to how to process memories and moods. >> anchor: so if you are looking to get rid of an ear worm researchers have a few suggestions. engage fully with the song by listening it through to the end. you can also try distracting yourself with a different song. although this could leave you with another tune to get rid of. or let it run its course and do not think about it. ?
