should take, probably by tomorrow. and we could get you an idea of how much snow. but probably accumulating snow late friday night to saturday morning. tonight looking at clouds breaking 32 degrees. tomorrow sunshine. and 44. and five-day forecast. 45 on thursday. with sun and clouds. friday night the storm moves in. snow showers. saturday morning, wake up to snow on the ground. we can get a few
