Wind gusts to at least 30 or 35 mph are possible today, out ahead of the next weather maker which promises to deliver some areas of lake enhanced snow Saturday afternoon and Saturday night. It's largely quiet on Sunday for "game day" with temperatures flirting with the freezing mark! Another round of generally light snow is possible Monday night and Tuesday.
