UPDATE: The National Weather Service has revised today's daytime high upward to 21F with wind chill "up to" -1. Total daytime lake-effect snow accumulation is projected at between 4 and 8 inches. (Update posted at 11:19 a.m.)
The remains of Winter Storm Elliott's blowing snow and cold will make the region look like something out of The Hateful Eight a little longer. There's a wind chill advisory until noon, and a lake-effect snow warning until 7 this evening. The National Weather Service projects a daytime high of 15, with southwesterly winds of 20 m.p.h. gusting to 29 m.p.h. and wind chills of around 5 below zero. There is a 100 percent chance of snow and blowing snow.
Quentin Tarantino's 2015 Oscar-winner (for Ennio Morricone's score), set during a savage blizzard in post-Civil War Wyoming, was invoked when this reporter looked out the window, saw nothing but blowing snow and thought they'd have to run a rope to get from the door to the sidewalk the way the "Hateful" characters used a rope to find their way between buildings in the movie's plot-shaping storm. The NWS, Erie Metropolitan Transit authority are among organizations that have advised dressing in layers and exercising extreme caution when driving, walking, and taking public transit.
