A winter weather advisory will be in effect this afternoon and evening and will last until 4 p.m. tomorrow for Lorain and Medina counties.

Many areas were already seeing plenty of snowfall. Chronicle Facebook fan Laura Winningham reported she already had 4 inches of snow in her driveway in Grafton, and Facebook fan Kent Adams in LaGrange said he had 2 inches and was heading out to plow.

The National Weather Service in Cleveland issued the advisory for snow and blowing snow.

According to the advisory, occasional snow today will become heavier tonight and tomorrow morning; blowing and drifting will develop.

By Friday evening accumulation of four to eight inches is expected. Some areas could see even more than that.

According to the National Weather Service, snow and blowing snow could make for difficult travel tonight and tomorrow, especially on untreated roads, and drifting snow could be a problem in open areas.
