An early season snow storm has dumped several inches of very heavy wet snow across the region. Since the leaves have not dropped from the trees, this causes a very hazardous situation, as the weight of the snow and leaves causes weak branches to break from the trees. Caution is urged for persons traveling today. Be weary of heavy laden trees.
