If only the low would have tracked 50-100 miles north and west...

...we could have woken up to more than just cloud cover this morning.  An area of low pressure is moving up through the Ohio River Valley this morning while a cold front passes through northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin.  Light, wet snow has been reported across east-central Illinois and northwest Indiana where evaporative cooling has caused the rain to either mix with or completely change over to snow.  The cold front is also helping to provide the cooler temperatures and will continue to push the rain/snow through Indiana, Michigan and Ohio through this evening.  If this system would have tracked a little further north and west, we could have been waking up to an inch or more of snowfall this morning!  Travel out east may become a little slick, especially on untreated roads.  Closer to home, a few sprinkles or flurries may fly under the mostly cloudy skies.  Winds will stay gusty from the northwest keeping temperatures in the middle 30s.
