Forecast: 'Winter will be here to stay for quite some time'

Those of you who hate winter are really going to be unhappy over the next couple of weeks.

Forecasters foresee no real let up in the bitter cold and snow gripping the region.

There's a wind chill advisory in place now through 11 a.m. Wednesday with wind chill values as low as 20 degrees below zero.

Light snow continues to fall this evening.

There will be a slight, slight warming by the weekend, according to Buffalo forecasters, but another round of arctic chill will follow behind it and there's a chance for significant lake effect snow fall next week.

"Winter will be here to stay for quite some time," wrote a forecaster in his weather analysis today.
