Friday morning's snow didn't cause too many issues on the roads.
This is just the start of the latest round of winter weather. AccuWeather's Dean DeVore tells the Big K Morning Show snow could continue into tomorrow.
The steady snow is going to continue through the day . . . as we go through the day and we’re still looking at 2 to 4 inches from that, but then as we get into the afternoon and evening . . . we’re going to switch this over to more of a lake effect snow shower situation,” said DeVore.
When all is said and done, we're expected to have 4 to 6 inches on the ground.

The wind is expected to become a factor later Friday afternoon, with gusts expected to reach 25 miles per hour.
Road crews are providing 24-hour coverage. Allegheny County Public Works Director Stephen Shanley says drivers should continue to go slow.
“While we appreciate the public’s patience, we do ask them to slow down leave extra space and also extra time on their trips because traffic could be slower,” said Shanley.
AFter speeds were reduced on Interstates 79, 279, 376, and 579, U.S. 22/30, and Route 28 in Allegheny County, Interstate 376 in Beaver County and Interstates 79 and 376 in Lawrence County, speed limits have been restored as of 10:40 a.m. Friday.
The National Weather Service believes communities south and east of Pittsburgh will see the bulk of the snow, while the north could see a lull.
While most of the major roadways are clear, some secondary roads are still in poor condition.
