Snowstorm bumper cars are no longer a concern for now, a weather expert says.

But in the wake of the recent storm, which dumped a significant amount of snow on the metro, residents have another worry: potentially perilous cold.

“We had a long duration light to moderate snowstorm,” said Jake Beitlich, meteorologist with the National Weather Service.“It snowed 36-48 hours and while it wasn’t really heavy snow and the winds weren’t strong, we still saw 5 to 6 inches of snow across the south metro and 4 to 5 inches across the north metro.”

There aren’t any more significant snow storms in the next few weeks, but the big thing is the cold temperatures, he said.

“Cold air is moving in and with the fresh snow pack that is a recipe for really cold nights,” he said.
