Mother Nature Celebrates St. Patrick's Day With Snow

Nearly five inches of snow have fallen in some locations

The snow, which was primarily confined to areas south of Interstate 80, came down heavily at times in the overnight hours and into the morning on Sunday, with some locations getting as much as four inches of the white stuff.
