A storm system moving across the East Coast from Christmas Eve into Christmas Day brought snow to eastern Tennessee, giving many people their first white Christmas in recent memory.
Following a white Christmas for some and a wet Christmas for others, another round of unsettled weather is on the way as a quick-hitting storm impacts the Great Lakes and Northeast early this week.
After a quiet Saturday across much of the Northeast outside of the lake-effect snow areas, an approaching storm will usher unsettled weather back into the region into Monday.
Unsettled weather for the Midwest arrived early Sunday as snow showers spread over the region. A fast-moving storm, which began in southern Iowa during the morning hours Sunday, continued to quickly push into southern Ontario, Canada, by Sunday night.
Along the way, this system brought periods of rain and snow to portions of the Great Lakes and Midwest. On the northwestern edge of this storm, a quick 1-4 inches of snow blanketed parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan on Sunday. Sunday night, snow continued to fall across eastern Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and expanded across northern Michigan.
Green Bay, Wisconsin, a city that had only received 2 inches of snow of the month as of Saturday, experienced almost double that amount on Sunday. On Sunday, 3.8 inches of snow fell in the city, much of which occurred while the Green Bay Packers and Tennessee Titans played a snowy game at Lambeau Field.

Workers commuting in Indiana, Ohio and southern Michigan on Monday morning will have to deal with damp, potentially slick roadways as a result of precipitation overnight.
"Roads can become slippery and hazardous at a time when many people will be traveling," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Mike Doll said.
As the center of the storm tracks northeast along the border between Canada and the United States on Monday, a cold front associated with the system will dig into the Northeast.
This cold front will interact with a rather dry air mass across the northeastern United States and widespread, heavy precipitation is not anticipated. However, some snow and rain showers can still develop across the region.
Snow showers will stretch from portions of northeastern Ohio, western Pennsylvania and New York, to portions of New England on Monday. A quick 1-3 inches of snow can blanket the area.
A few rain showers can develop farther east and dampen portions of eastern Pennsylvania into southern New England on Monday.
In addition to wet weather, this storm will also kick up gusty winds across the Midwest and Northeast through Monday. While widespread damaging wind gusts are not anticipated at this time, winds can be strong enough to cause some minor issues for travel.
After this fast-moving storm jogs into Atlantic Canada on Monday night and its influence on the northeastern U.S. winds down, AccuWeather forecasters will turn their attention to the next significant storm to target the center of the country.
