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.

A great blue heron rests in a tree recently along Grand Lake. Using a state FFA grant and local funds, Marion Local FFA members and watershed and environmental officials will erect signs along the 2.7-mile walking trail in the 80-acre Gilliland Nature Sanctuary. The signs will identify plant and tree species and different ecosystems at the sanctuary.
