Don't say goodbye to winter just yet

TRAVERSE CITY — The National Weather Service issued a winter weather advisory for the Grand Traverse region through Thursday.

The region can expect to see two to three inches of snow daily through Thursday, said Scott Rozanski, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gaylord.
