[quote=Anonymous]Please check back on Sunday :-)

Literally, we don't know where we are with this storm. We thought it was going to be nothing a few days ago, but today models have been slowly trending towards a snowier solution. However we still have no clue whether we're getting 1 inch or 7!

This is because there are two problems: 
1. Marginal temps. It's going to start above freezing, and what falls throughout the day will melt. If the bulk of the storm waits until nighttime, it's going to accumulate. We might get an inch or two. 
2. Westward expansion of the storm. It was going out to sea until it wasn't. We don't know exactly how far west (ie, over our heads) it's going to trend. If it sits on our heads for the entire Sunday and dumps massive amounts of snow: even during the day, it will bring its own cold airmass and snow will accumulate even if ground temps are above freezing. But that boom scenario is still very low probability as of Friday evening.

So. Monitor carefully.
