coming our way. here's the key, it is actually a warm front that is coming towards us but air is so cold, that it the is still causing some snow. by the time it the gets here tonight, we will be seeing temperatures actually rise, overnight, instead of tall. and so we have a winter weather advisory but only for northern and western parts of the viewing area because initially the temperatures
