If the plows didn't keep Capital District residents shoveling Saturday, the wind did.
"The big problem today is the drifting snow," said meteorologist Greg Gerwitz, who works with the National Weather Service at the Albany County Airport.
A half-inch dusting Saturday brought the snow total since the start of Friday's storm to an even 14 inches at the airport, officials there said.
Wind speed, estimated at 20 to 35 mph Saturday, was expected to decrease today to 10 to 20 mph, Gerwitz said. "You'll still notice some wind tomorrow, but there won't be anything like today," he predicted Saturday. "I think this will be the worst of it."
Sunny skies were expected today, with highs near 30. No snow was forecast for today, but the chance of snow Monday was 50 percent, Gerwitz said.
Saturday's winds made the 23 afternoon high temperature feel like 10 below zero, Gerwitz said.
