Special Weather Statement issued December 3 at 1:05PM EST by NWS Wilmington OH (details ...)
Light snow is expected to develop across the area after midnight, shifting to the southeast through the predawn hours. This band of light snow will affect the region by the Thursday morning commute, eventually pushing south of the area by mid- morning.
Minor snow accumulations of less than an inch are expected, but cold ground conditions will allow for quick accumulation on any untreated surfaces. The main impacts are expected to be reduced visibilities and some slick spots on untreated surfaces.
Motorists should exercise caution. Plan extra time for the Thursday morning commute.

At 99, Gladys Harris admits to being rather partial to dolls - even a comical Santa figure on display at The Gardens at Celina. Harris still remembers a Christmas morning more than nine decades ago when she received a doll baby. Other than candy and some tangerines, it was her only gift during tough economic times.
