Sunday will bring 5 to 9 inches of snow, followed by a stretch of cold, winter-like weather, with mostly sunny to partly cloudy days and chilly nights.

With clear to partly cloudy skies at night, temperatures will drop into the low to mid-20s, making for brisk evenings. The persistent cold and gusty winds will keep outdoor activities cool and require warm layers. Be prepared for a crisp and quiet winter week ahead.
